Limerick GAA 2023 - League champions means nothing now 🐐

You can’t bate breeding.

5 actually seems to be kinda low for the most on any All-Ireland winning team ever? You’d think even if you had a set of brothers with a famous father, you’d get up along those numbers. You had Houla on the panel aswell with an All-Ireland medal in his pocket. Up to 7 next year with Aido in there aswell.

Did Barry Hennessy’s father ever get on a Limerick panel @balbec?

A few of the other parents would have been heavily involved around things up along too, I wonder is that because their children were good or those that kind of drive help their kids succeed? Like, Hannon’s father has been involved in the backroom in all 4 All-Ireland wins; Jimmy’s father obviously coached in the first win, the Boylans’ father involved as a doctor previously and played at a decent level for Midleton, the Gillanes’ father was involved in the academy and one of the best coaches around, Kyle’s father involved in the academy for a long team, the Morrisseys’ father was a county board head… Lynch obviously has the Carey blood.

I suppose you are more likely to get involved if your kid is talented.

Can’t believe Mike Nash only played 15 times in champo. In my head he was the full back forever when I was young. Obviously he wasn’t

Crazy. Majority of them obviously from just two years.

Dublin Football had Brogan x2, Rock, McCarthy, McCaffrey and O’Callaghan.

Costello’s father CEO.

They may not have all started at the same time though.

Same, shocked at that.

That was a great owl read

It is indeed, the stuff about Tommy Quaid is very poignant, apparently he was a lovely man, my in laws knew him well, and I was close enough to Nickie at one stage though we haven’t bumped into each other in a couple of years now and I wouldn’t be great at the texting etc, but you honestly couldn’t meet a nicer fella, tough to lose your father at that age, but he’s a credit to his memory

Mul is Donie Barry line not hanleys. But his great grandfather Patsy Quilty won an All. Ireland junior.

Apologies, you’re right, isn’t he his nephew?

There is good Tipperary breeding in a few of those LK boys. Hannon in particular.

Kyle is a grand nephew of Mickey cross
