The @balbec’s bate the living shite out of the Well. 2-23 to 2-9
They have scores coming from all over. Hanley Clarke is the ultimate throw back, a lovely doubled on goal for their second. Serious scoring in the conditions. A real marker thrown down.
The Well with only 11 scores, no Lynch but still, one of the best attackers and the best scoring defender in the country. They seem to be all wrong the last few years. Something seriously wrong there.
Red card finished the Well, but they were bate before that.
It’s like a horse who’s trained to peak for Cheltenham that disappoints in punchestown.
The Limerick senior hurling team are expertly primed to peak for late June early July by their coaches.
Obviously players will differ and some players have played and trained more over the last eight months but a side like Patrickwell who are heavily reliant on three Limerick players won’t be suited by the split season.
It’ll be interesting to see what form the guys who done the heavy lifting for Limerick are going in September/ October.
The Well had no hope today. They shouldn’t even have played Gillane, he’s not fit. Hard to see them win a county without Lynch but if they have everyone else, they’ll still be very formidable.
Their supporting cast is usually strong on paper. The O’Brien’s x3 must have all been on the Limerick senior panel at various stages. The younger Gillane and Josh Considine have Senior medals too. Gary Kirby’s son has played underage for Limerick.
