What a twist!
Bom bom bom
Ye are into the knockouts pretty much now!
Croom lost again today, I reckon they will stay up though. Should have too much for whoever comes bottom in the other group.
St. Kierans with 2 draws. How in the name of God? They are just terrible.
The standard at intermediate is fairly poor. A lot of dross.

One intermediate tier is enough in Lk .
There should be eight in it like the premier and they should work that down and introduce a Junior C championship as well. At the moment it’s an awful lot harder to get out of Junior A than to stay intermediate.
Croom & Knockaderry meet in the next round of fixtures and the loser more than likely goes to the relegation playoff.
Crooms demise has been frightening.

I noted PM O’Sullivan wondering in the Cork Examiner the other day why Limerick have disimproved so much since TJ Ryan masterminded that smashing 2014 semi-final display against Kilkenny:
"Last weekend, Clare saw off Limerick by four points in underwhelming fashion. While the result surprised few observers, the winners were expected to perform rather better. A friend, neutral in the matter, texted afterwards: “Limerick trying to hurl like Mary I. Tippy tappy feckology. Clare not much better. Closer to lacrosse than hurling.” Hard to dissent. Last weekend lacked hurling’s tensile qualities. Remember Limerick pinning Kilkenny right to the wire in 2014’s elemental All-Ireland semi-final? Kilkenny and Tipp produced two games for the pantheon in the subsequent decider. Back then, Limerick hovered near wondrous altitudes.
How did they disimprove so much, two minor All-Ireland final appearances and an U21 All-Ireland later? The query should be put. Everything is a boggle, including the conditioning of certain Limerick players. As of 2017, their minimum requirements are a goalkeeper, a corner-back, a full-back, a midfielder, a centre-forward, a corner-forward, and a captain."

OOOFT!!!
Multiple headshots.
He’s not wrong. At least we have centre back sorted for once.
Hard to disagree with any of that. We’ve wasted 2 years (likely to be 3 shortly) with little or no improvement.

The 2011 U21s have a lot to answer for. Thanks Christ the 2015 shower produced a few backs (and maybe even a few forwards). Tell PM we’ll be in better fettle in a year or two.
There is not one sentence there that I can disagree with

Limerick are producing too many forwards, it’s about time we produced a few backs.
A few scoring forwards wouldn’t be bad either

And a few midfielders. And a goalie.

A couple of coaches and a manager would be great too.
It’d be harm if there was some competition for sponsor as well.
