Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Dont forget his dive

Iā€™m going to get lynched for this but thereā€™s a touch of the kevin Downes about him in the sense that he almost always nearly gets it perfect but rarely does. He either slipped or dropped the Hurley etc. can be very frustrating at times. Heā€™d the beating of his man all day.

That score from Tom was unreal, took off and on the run nailed it, it was a huge score in the game

I thought he was very good, personally. Got a little too caught up in handbags with Deegan in the second half. Stay in your toes and the fouls are more obvious.

He roasted him really, what did he get, 3 from play? A lovely pass to Dowling too.

Flanagan didnā€™t have his best day but in the opening 20 minutes when Kilkenny were on top all over he got a few vital scores and set up a very good score too. Tried to set up two goals that could have been easy points for himself and miscontrolled a ball for another goal chance.

Heā€™s running out of chances, was limericks least impressive forward today and the subs were decent

The only lad youā€™d start ahead of him is pat Ryan and he didnā€™t even get a run.

Flanagan had his man bate up a stick but his decision making was pretty poor. The full forward line all had the better of their men. Mulcahy absolutely roasted Murphy, but just didnā€™t get enough ball.

Ya while the first goal chance looked on the one where he flicked it into Gillane in the second half was far too risky at that point the game.

I would say Flanagan and Gillane were the two who did the least.

Just after watching the Buffs snaps there and as heā€™d say himself Morriseys point was absolutely iconic

Someone, possibly @Julio_Geordio , declared It to be a more iconic point than Carey v Clare

Of the same ilk anyway. Carey never bate KK

I was surprised Pat Ryan didnā€™t come on. Morrissey actually wasnā€™t great throughout the game and gave away possesion a few times through woeful handpasses. But the scores to respond to the goal and particularly to win the game were absolutely majestic.

Hard to argue against Casey starting the next day. Brought a different class when he came on.

Thereā€™s a swagger and an arrogance to peter Casey. Something I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen in an limerick forward in my lifetime. Heā€™s lethal. Apparently heā€™s still Off fitness wise.

Super win today, these are a mighty group of men

He always will be I reckon. But he might get away with it for a while. :trophy:

The Dow has the same unshakable confidence. Must come from a latte heavy upbringing

What sort of helmet does Peter Casey wear? Thereā€™s something distinctive about it that I canā€™t put my finger on
