Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

They have a strong team alright, I suppose their senior have only had two matches to burn players and they’ve played 6 Championship matches at junior level.

They have Jason Gillane, Andrew & Calvin Carroll, David Woulfe… Few others who would be there or thereabouts for their seniors.

Kilmallock will be very strong come knockout stages too

If Limerick win Sunday then the Junior A will nearly be over before the well play again I’d say. When has this weekends round been moved to?

Some Mickey Mouse job over in the South division. You’d have to go out of your way to be knocked out

Next weekend. If Limerick lose, we’re due to play Mungret next Sunday.

Very short turnaround.

Will it still go ahead if they win? They might let one round off?

Tis harder to not go through to the County stages sure ffs. The whole restructuring of the championship was an exercise in making it more and more difficult for the West Board to continue to resist it going all County, at the expense of common sense. It was Killeedy who proposed the 3rd qualifier out of each division to contest the County because the cunts can’t get past the West Semis themselves

I’d fancy them over Patrickswell, and Doon should be decent aswell.

But as I said, I hope none of them win and one of the West teams or Caherline or someone do it.

If Limerick win, we don’t know what will happen.

We’re training as if the match is on but it’s hard to get the mindset right. Very hard to get in ‘Championship mode’ when you don’t really know when you’re out again.

I would presume if Limerick win, Championship will be off until at least two weekends after the All-Ireland, but you never know.

Moving the calendar forward this year should allow them a bit of space to work with I suppose, but the Limerick fixture list isn’t designed for Limerick doing well :grinning:.
They’ve us down to play senior football vs Pats the Tuesday after the AI semi meaning Hegarty would have to tog again Tuesday night if he wants to play for them (and that’s the whole reason it’s being moved to Tuesday so I presume he does).
Some of our lads will have played 2 hurling championship & one football championship game in less than a week after tonight. Training all year and the whole thing could be gone up in smoke after a week of running lads into the ground

Drom v Senans still down down for Tuesday evening :roll_eyes:

Can’t see Kiely being happy with that. While they’ve released subs & extended panel members all year, I can’t see how Hegarty playing Championship football 48 hours after running himself into the ground against Cork is ideal recovery with an All-Ireland in sight.

But yeah, if we all want to have a few weeks drinking when we win Liam, I suppose we have to make a few sacrifices on the way.

IF limerick win the games are all off.

and work :grinning:

Yer ok Id say
