Good run out for Ray Dempseys men but to be fair Waterford are an embarrassment of an Intercounty team!
Solid start for Dempsey’s army
They were atrocious
Limerick for the double
We have a score to settle with Kerry

Kerry are finished. Cork hammered them.
We never feared Cork
Just back from Mick Neville Park.
We’re on the road again, we’re on our way to paradise. The post Billy Lee era gets off to a decent start.
A result that will no doubt lead to sleepless nights for Rory Gallagher, Dessie Farrell, Colm O’Rourke and co ahead of the resumption of NFL Division 2.
Waterford weren’t that bad in the first half, actually kicked some blinding scores after conceding a goal from the first score of the game. A turnover from their own kick out, buried by Enright. Only two in it at the short whistle.
Calamity awaited them in the second half, however, as they conceded a further two goals from intercepted kick outs - one after another.
The first one was intercepted by Brian Fanning who fed debutant Cathal Downes who finished with aplomb, his second green flag of the night. Straight from this kick out lightning struck for the third time on the evening, the impressive Killian Ryan gathering and blasting home.
With Big Josh Ryan gone for the year, there’s an opening for a target man on the edge of the square and young Ryan could be that man. He set up Downes’ for his first goal too, lovely hand pass across the face of the goal which the inrushing K/P man palmed home.
Cian Sheehan was the best player on the pitch. Just a class player, as befits an All-Star nominee. Brian Fanning kicked two from centre back (his usual rampaging self), while Barry Coleman also had a fine outing at wing back. Waterford were fairly abysmal tbh. Ran the bench in the second half as Ruahan O’Connor, Brian Barry and Jack Ryan all got a run out. Nice to dust off the cobwebs at least.
A lot of the visitors back for the Christmas are still around Rathkeale. It was like driving around London with the yellow reg’s. Poor old Eamon Phelan was on the gate and had his hands full with roaming gangs of young itinerants loitering around the place, oblivious to the champagne football Dempsey’s Dreamteam were delivering.
That stand in Mick Neville looks smaller every time I see it, I’d say it’ll barely take a couple of hundred when operational. Mind you, it’ll be worth it’s weight in gold for u21A club matches in deepest November with two men and a dog in attendance on a foul night.
FT Limerick 4-14 Waterford 0-09.

Many there? Any noticeable change in style? Target man is all well and good but you have to kick it to him at some stage
When are the hurlers out?
Dempseys teams would be very much kick first I think and from what I hear at training he’s been screaming at lads to kick pass mor.
15/01 v Cork in Páirc Uí Rinn, 17/01 v Kerry in Rathkeale.
Buff was already complaining about the stand in Rathkeale not being ready.
Won’t be in Rathkeale anyway. Heard GG won’t be ready either so could be Tralee.
Why not Rathkeale?
Won’t take the crowd. Stand side was closed off tonight.
