Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Bar Nicky, brynes, Dan Morrissey and Hickey our other 11 starters have knocked cork out of championship at minor and 21 level. Our lads are better and they’ve absolutely no fear of cork what so ever. The Cork team is built around a bunch of lads that have consistently fallen short at the top level. They are a decent team with one or two very good hurlers but when it’s shoved up to them good and tough they don’t want to know about it. If limerick play to their capabilities they will win. Don’t be building them into something they are not.

You are on the ball here. Cork love this bollix.

It’s 10 years since Cork beat us in a meaningful match at either minor or U-21 level.

Exactly. Don’t be going building them into Something they are not. If we play to our strengths and stick to our game plan we will beat them. English and finn will be licking their lips facing into the windy cork cunts like Horgan and lehane.

I would think that Cork are Munster champions and limerick have been shite for years is far more relevant.

Last years championship is of zero relevance to this limerick team now. Munster champions means nothing. Cork had one important game last year v Waterford in the all Ireland semi final and they togged it, collapsed and then imploded against an ok Waterford team.

Exactly. A reality check might be no harm at all.

This is a new Limerick team, the last few years are totally irrelevant really.

I thought Cork were Munster champions but finished the year being seen as probably the 3rd ranked side in Munster.

They’re decent, but it is only Cork at the end of the day. I’d expect to win if we get our tactics and setup right.

I expect to win and it’s not to do with tactics, but people are being too dismissive of a good cork side who will fancy beating us just as much as we fancy beating them. I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves a bit, we’ll know more about limerick after this game I hope.

Cork are Cork lads. Only a fool would underestimate them.

If we get our tactics wrong, I expect Cork will win. They know exactly what they’re at at this stage.

But I expect we will get it right.

I don’t think anyone is being dismissive of them really. They’re handy but so are we. It’s not Kilkenny 2006-2009 we’re talking about. They have their strengths but also flaws like everyone else.

We struggled to beat Tipp’s B team lads - Cork are Munster Champions and but for a sending off more than likely would have been in the AI last year - They are a battle hardened 1 A team, have clinical forwards and the majority of their team is well established. Plus the game is in Cork … we will be massive, massive underdogs going into this and Cork will rightly be hot favourites with the bookies.

Hopefully Cork stuff Tipp next weekend as it would put Tipp under serious pressure to make it and make Cork favs against us

Kingston to be fair didn’t do at all bad last Sunday when introduced .

My man says he was dealing with a few niggles and will be in top form shortly. Cadogan is out for another month at least.

If Cork beat Tipperary on Sunday, one more win from our remaining three games should be enough to qualify for the All-Ireland series. If Waterford beat Clare, it’s as good as guaranteed.

Definitely hoping Tipp and Clare can drop points at home this weekend. I don’t think either will though.

Cadogan potentially back for WD game. Might rush him back for LK if we get beat on Sunday but id let him alone

Tim o mahony another gteed starter who wasnt fit for last week. Ellis wont do at centre back so O Mahony might get the nod and they would probably shuttle ellis to midfield

The fact ye bate tipp B hasn’t come into much of the LK post match analysis

We couldn’t beat 14 of them in 2016, we will take anything we can against them.
