Limerick GAA 2023 - League champions means nothing now 🐐

A quote from PM O’Sullivan @Fagan_ODowd.

Realistically, the charge list runs no further than
a flake at Eoin Brislane in the 2003 League Final and
a swipe at Mike Fitzgerald in September 2007. For
a man now in his 11th season with Kilkenny, it is an
admirable roster.

As an aside how many Sliotar Magazines was there @Malarkey? I have 12 here on my PC.

Do you think that comment about NH was unreasonable…?

On Sliotar… Off top of my head, not quite sure. I think there was a number 13 that did not go out, because of a hissy fit by a control freak. There might even have been a number 14. Will check at some point. Stuff not easily to hand – but I will try to check.

Unfortunately got myself involved with a lad who wanted me to do all the work while he pressed a button or two. At the time, I was technologically illiterate. The same prickaun later deleted the whole data base in a fit of pique and sheer bad nature.

Still, I learned a lot of useful practical stuff and made some great contacts. A profound lesson learned at cheap cost, as a wise businessman friend later remarked to me.

Funny enough, a couple of people came up to me in Cleere’s not long back praising stuff in Sliotar. Not a clue, me. Have not looked at that stuff in yonks.

No, I was just trying to answer Fagans question. I couldn’t remember him being sent off either.

Glad to hear it…

I presume the comment is from some Sliotar piece? Wrote so much in such a short run of time that I have forgotten nearly all of what I wrote… Except stuff like the Jimmy Smyth profile, because Jimmy was so memorable to meet.

Really disappointing result for the minors last night.

20s tonight, a chance to reach another Munster Final.

LIMERICK: Conor Hanley Clarke (Kilmallock); Chris Thomas (Doon), Fergal O’Connor (Effin), Evan O’Leary (Ahane); Cian Scully (Dromin Athlacca Banogue), Ethan Hurley (Newcastle West), Colin Coughlan (Ballybrown); Jimmy Quilty (Blackrock), Joe Sweeney (Adare); Adam English (Doon), Aidan O’Connor (Ballybrown), Eddie Stokes (Doon); Shane O’Brien (Kilmallock), Patrick Kirby (Patrickswell), Donnacha O’Dalaigh (Monaleen).

Subs : Josh O’Reilly (Ballybrown), Brian O’Meara (Mungret St Pauls), Patrick Reale (Knockainey), Cian O’Donovan (Doon), John Kirby (Patrickswell), Barry Duff (Mungret St Pauls), Sean Whelan (Cappamore), Patrick Finn (Bruff), Adam Fitzgerald (Templeglantine).

There is one change in the Limerick U20 subs - Adam Fitzgerald replaces Patrick O’Donovan. Effin forward O’Donovan has suffered with injuries for the last number of months but was introduced as a sub in last week’s win over Cork. Others in the extended panel that continue to be hampered by injury include Diarmuid Hegarty, Michael Keane, Liam Lynch and Ronan Lyons.

Hopefully Paddy O’Donovan hasn’t had a serious setback, I was hoping that we might see him start tonight after coming off the bench the last day. I don’t really know what Waterford are like, they beat Kerry and lost to Tipp. But while we were impressive the last day, Cork were missing a fair few fellas that they now have back, and the match was almost meaningless.

I’d be fairly hopeful of a victory after an impressive performance last time and hopefully we get over tonight, but we’ll need a few of those injured fellas back if we want to go further, I think.

What time is throw in? Is it on TG4 Youtube?

Have they given up hurling in the city again?

7pm.

Think it is on YouTube; the other match is on live.

Young Hego is out injured, he’d be the main townie representative.

A few suburban types too. There’s a couple of Na Piarsaigh lads but they’d be quite young.

@Fagan_ODowd

They never really took it up tbf.

The suburbanites NAP, Mungret and Monaleen. North of the city, south west of the city and east of the city have leeched any bit of life that was left in the actual city clubs out of them. Pats have Hego but that’s a fluke really.
Other than him the “inner” city itself has contributed nothing to the current team. Pats, Claughaun, Christians all junior. I’m not even sure if Abbey Sars and Ballinacurra are fielding anymore.

Even taking in the super clubs realistically NAP are the only ones contributing. Though you would expect Mungret to make the breakthrough soon given the sheer weight of numbers.

That must be one of the most-repeated phrases through all the various years of Limerick threads

Agreed, it’s kind of like waiting for Dublin to win the hurling, have to happen at some stage surely

[glasagusban]

I’d like to see a top ten.

1. You’d beat that crowd with your cap

[balbec]

That and “you’ll bate Doon with your cap”

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Could be wrong but one issue I think with Mungret there’s no hurling in Comp where is where a lot of Mungret lads end up going to secondary school and the good lads end up focusing on rugby or soccer.

I’d say if hurling was big in comp than Mungret would be similar to nap.

2. “Limerick never feared…”

3. Limerick always go well in the sweltering heat.
