Limerick GAA 2023 - League champions means nothing now šŸ

Pace running the other way is the problem though!

Twas a serious score. Mark Foley likened it to Careyā€™s point in 96 on the commentary.

Coughlan isnā€™t slow at full speed, he has a monster stride and when he opens up he can glide past lads.

Itā€™s his reactions and his change of direction /turning that are very slow. I would have questions over whether heā€™ll be able to overcome this to hurl Senior for a sustained period to be honest. I hope Iā€™m wrong.

Quilty had a poor game last night but itā€™s the only poor display Iā€™ve seen from him in years. Heā€™s an excellent prospect, great bit of stuff. Perhaps he was unwell or something as he just wasnā€™t himself at all and looked spent 10 minutes into the second half and heā€™s never like that.

A Munster U20 Final made without Cathal Oā€™Neill, Mike Keane, Ronan Lyons, Diarmuid Hegarty, Paddy Oā€™Donovan and Liam Lynch is good going. All probable starters.

You could have potentially have been looking at this

  1. Conor Hanley-Clarke
  2. Fergal Oā€™Connor
  3. Mike Keane
  4. Chris Thomas
  5. Ethan Hurley
  6. Jimmy Quilty
  7. Colin Coughlan
  8. Eddie Stokes
  9. Cathal Oā€™Neill
  10. Diarmuid Hegarty
  11. Aidan Oā€™Connor
  12. Shane Oā€™Brien
  13. Paddy Oā€™Donovan
  14. Liam Lynch
  15. Adam English

Ronan Lyons
Evan Oā€™Leary
Cian Scully
Joe Sweeney
Brian Oā€™Meara
John Kirby
Patrick Kirby
Donncha Oā€™Dalaigh

A nice crop in fairness

He picked up a shoulder injury at work yesterday.

Time to quit the job

Ethan Hurley is soon forgotten.

Thatā€™d be some team, in fairness.

I know they lost that minor semi-final poorly enough in 2019 but the players have continued to develop, the vast majority have stayed involved. Young Casey is the only one that seems to have gone off the radar, Murrihy didnā€™t make the panel either.

The likes of Chris Thomas & Donnacha werenā€™t involved at all at underage really. Jimmy & Eddie Stokes have improved immeasurably tbh, as have the likes of Oā€™Donovan. And CON, English, AOC have continued to be really standout players.

My understanding is that Kilkenny have lost 2 or 3 of the best players from the equivalent team which must be a big blow.

Following a toss, This years Munster Under 20 Hurling Final between Tipperary and Limerick will take place in The Gaelic Grounds next Wednesday May 4th at 7.30pm

We didnt even let Tpp win a coin toss

Where is Cian Oā€™Donovan?

He was on the bench yesterday.

Heā€™s tidy enough but probably a bit down the pecking order tbh. Iā€™d have Reale and Oā€™Meara over him.

Heā€™s a good prospect

PeiladĆ³irĆ­ Luimneach are 5/2 to overturn Clare at the weekend. I think itā€™s a tad generous.
Is there a chance they can, as Bertie once said, upset the appletart ?

It would be quite a surprise

Itā€™s a great price , even when Limerick were near the basement of Div 4 there would rarely be more than a couple of points in these games. You might get Lmk +3 in spots even?

The coin had PJā€™s head on both sides.
The tipp captain inspected it and went for tails.

Cian Lynch done for the season. Advantage Waterford/Galway.
