Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Julio_Geordio:

What will be interesting I think is the contrast of Munster style - work the ball find a man, play to corners vs Galway and KK who are all about long high ball to the forwards and it’s up to the forwards to win it. Obviously that’s a very simplistic view of it, but in general they both rely on forwards winning their own ball rather than depending on good ball. No team has won an all Ireland bar Clare with the former style since Cork brought it to the fore. Tipp, KK and Galway all similar styles of hurling since.
It takes six exceptional forwards to play that style though and we don’t have them, but I don’t think KK do anymore either. They have slightly altered tactics to allow for this but it’s still reliant on forwards winning their own ball. If you don’t have the forwards it’s a dream for backs IMO.
I think we can take them on that basis

I should be on the Sunday game

It’s going to be pissing down all that day.

Aristotle · July 16, 2018, 3:04pm

I’d imagine so. I want to be in place for the oul pitch invasion though, trial run for the final.

anon78624367 · July 16, 2018, 3:05pm

anon61956325 · July 16, 2018, 4:45pm

15k tickets bought already.

He really should have waited till he had a cup in his hand to do the Donoghue on it but it’s a lovely scene nonetheless.

I wouldn’t be critical of much but one thing that needs fixing is brining Gillane out for frees around 90 yards is just silly. Anything within 70 yards leave him at them. Let Byrnes hit the longer ones. You start missing those long range frees and it could drain his confidence.

Copper_pipe · July 16, 2018, 5:06pm

What are you planning to do with all of them?

anon78624367 · July 16, 2018, 5:07pm

we only had the one long range free. Byrnes clipped a ball into the corner that we won. I think Gillane’s free he missed was inside 70 yards, I could be wrong now.

anon32894817 · July 16, 2018, 5:08pm

I thought there was one he came Miles back in the first half. Over by the far stand.

anon78624367 · July 16, 2018, 5:17pm

ya it was on the sideline outside the 65. Inside the KK half.

anon78624367 · July 16, 2018, 5:32pm

Gillane got fouled something fierce for the entire second half.

Aristotle · July 16, 2018, 5:45pm

I think Deegan just grabbed hold around 40 minutes and held on for the next half hour.
