Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Dowling cannot turn. If he wins a ball coming out from goals he just keeps going, like a ferry. He worked his bollix off today but he was fighting a serious losing battle when we went two up up front.

The only forward who can be happy with their performance was Tom Morrissey, who looked sharp.

Dowling did well in the first half, but was gassed in the second. Flanagan’s touch was well off. Mulcahy just never got on the ball. Kyle & Hego didn’t get through as much work as usual; did some things well but will be disappointed with their performance.

Dempsey was poor off the bench today; Gillane got a score but didn’t do much, Nash didn’t do well. Tbf to Gillane & Nash, they weren’t exactly given good service when they did come in.

You can’t have been watching that closely so

Hannon was brilliant I thought.

Sean Finn was an awful loss when he went off. Hopefully he’ll be right for the next day.

Himself and the two Morrisseys were our best performers.

Look. A bit of soul searching will do no harm. We were as bad on the sideline as we were on the pitch.
We have three weeks to lick our wounds.

Im not saying Mulcahy didnt deserve to be taken off, Im saying it was the wrong decision to take off a forward and bring on a back. It showed fear.

Management filled their togs and it transferred to the players.

I’m wondering is that why they decided not to go man on man.

Hindsight is 20 20 and all that, it didn’t seem like a bad move to me at the time but it should have been rectified after about 15 mins of the second half, was it only when Nash came in that they changed it up?

He was excellent, as was Dan Morrissey. But I was just talking about the forwards. I thought Lynch got through a lot of work too.

Thats it in a nutshell, now Limerick werent hurling anyway and would have been beaten anyway if they had set up orthodox, but youd rather go down punching.

Whats the point in giving Clare an extra man in their backs when you’re losing the game.
