Limerick GAA 2023 - League champions means nothing now 🐐

Bad mistake by NCW full back O’Doherty leads to Adare free.

Mark Connolly points it. Adare by 1 into injury time.

He makes amends! Equaliser.

Harsh overcarrying call by Timmy

Jamesie sent off, Cian Sparling black card.

Adare down to 13, NCW down to 14.

Are NCW restored to 15 but the black card carries over?

DRAMA GALORE!

Full back O’Doherty levels it up after a brilliant pass by Quilligan.

Adare only have themselves to blame as they were through at the other end for a score but the ref called it back for a throw ball as Adare had 16 men on the field.

James Kelly has received his second yellow also as the game ends level.

NCW 1-7 Adare 2-4.

This is the case. 13 vs 15. It just seems like an unfair anomaly in the rules.

Used to be in april/may iirc?

Half time in ET

NCW 1-10 Adare 2-5

Points from Corbett, Thomas Quilligan and a monster effort from Mike Mac has put NCW in the driving seat. A Robbie Bourke free has kept Adare in it but NCW look the fitter and all round better side here. The extra man told also in that spell, although Cian Sparling is back on for Adare now.

Quilligan has been very influential since he came on the pitch. Beautiful left peg on him.

It’s a ridiculous anomaly. Adare would have been better off if their player punched someone

It’s awful, must have happened before and should have been rectified before now

Dropping like flies here.

Players falling with cramp all over, NCW turned over in their own half, almost a goal for Adare. Probably should have been, had a free man inside.

Mike Mac score for Newcastle after another Robbie Bourke wide for the Maiguesiders.

1-11 to 2-5 for NCW.

4 mins of added time to be played.

Mike Mac has been unreal.

A mammoth catch by Mike Mac on the goal line. Darragh O’Sé-esque.

And Newcastle see it out.

Not one for the purists.

1-11 to 2-5 final score.

If Sparling had just kept abusing Timmy after getting the black card, he’d have been sent off and Adare would have been in a better position. Or if he had refused to leave the field or something.

It’s so fucking stupid.

There’s too much thought to be put into such situations. But I agree the whole thing is ridiculous. You can’t have a situation where extra-time is deemed a new game if you have a red card, but the same game if you have a black card.

It’s the inconsistencies that would drive you fucking mad.

Mike Mac is ageless.

The point he scored late in the second half from out near the far side stand was top class. I played Junior hurling against him around 2006 when he was a little leaner. He must be close to 40 odd now.

Our ladies were way ahead of the curve in wearing red skorts since the 70s ……to ensure no embarassing moments. One of only three Limerick clubs to win a senior All Ireland camogie title (1975). And the first club on the island to have their own purpose built camogie pitch (2001).

Looks like every kind of fucker was at that thing in New York this weekend.

Cody and all was there.
