I watched the game back there. Pat Ryans ability to turn his marker is unreal. His pace is frighteningâŠin the club championship he absolutely burnt Mark Carmody with a similar swivel. I reckon Kinnerk will work very closely with him and he could be a real top hurler come championship.
Brilliant stuff. This is how you inspire the next generation.

Correct. Under severe pressure cool heads kept the ball alive and in Limerick hands only for the final pass to be a peach of one. Shame Ryan didnât score the goal alright.
Just watched the game back after been at it last night. Duignans Co-commentary is woeful⊠again.
Everyone on the panel is pushing hard for a start on the team. Itâs unreal the competition. Although Downes will be lucky to see anymore game time. Maybe it was nerves I know he hasnât started a match for Limerick in a while but it was hard to watch at times.like Dowling still has to get minutes on the pitch.
so happy with their attitude you couldnât but be proud. Hopefully another great year ahead.
Na Piarsaigh- Michael Ryan & Nigel OâShaughnessy
Doon- Tom Murphy & Aidan Hanrahan
Kilmallock- John Brudair & Jamie Wall
Patrickswell- Ciaran Carey & Natal OâGrady
Adare- Brian Foley
South Liberties- Cronan Garry & Pat Donnelly
Ballybrown- Evan Loftus & Darrell Tucker
Murroe/Boher- Seamus Gleeson
Monaleen- Damien Reale & Liam Reale
Ahane- Davy Givens & Donach OâDonnell
Knockainey- Haulie Walsh & Tommy Guilfoyle
Garryspillane- Thomas Downes (no manager yet)
Few names I wouldnât be overly familiar with there.
Anyone know where the Sparrow is gone? And Ger Downes? Went up with Liberties last year, hard to blame him for moving on. And Teeje hasnât confirmed whether heâll be back with the Bouncers.
Donât know anything about Hanrahan with Doon off the top of my head, and does Tommy Guilfoyle have much of a track record?
Anyone have any info on the Premier Intermediate/Intermediate teams. From what Iâve heard:
Mungret- Gerry OâBrien as manager, have an outside coach too
Blackrock- Jimmy Quilty & Adrian Gilligan
Bruree- Gerdy OâMahony again, I think
Dromin/Athlacca- Think itâs the same group, Darren Moynihan involved
Cappamore- Presume Hammersley is still with them
Someone told me Bruffâs but I canât remember, no idea on Pallasgreen.
All I know for Intermediate is that Shaughs is still with Tour (as confirmed above), Emmet Beston is over NaP2 and Johnny Cahill & Tom Carmody in Croom.
Ger Downes is taking a yearâs break from coaching Iâm told, didnât he go back to college to do something
He did plus he has 2 very young kids
I actually heard tonight Ger Downes has been contacting players to go in to the Limerick u20s for fitness tests or trial period or whatever so must be involved with them in some capacity
He could also be involved in a very elaborate practical joke.

First round of the U-21 Championship this evening:
âȘDoon 2-14 Kilmallock 1-12
âȘPatrickswell 1-15 Ahane 2-8âŹ
âȘNa Piarsaigh 1-20 Monaleen 1-8
I dunno who the standout team is, thatâs a very good win for Doon.
Garryspillane & Mungret play on Sunday, both those should be very strong, Garryspillane winning the last two minor titles.
Weâre in the group with NaP, Monaleen, Ahane & the Well; itâs our first time ever playing Premier U-21 so be interesting to see how we get on.
Erra, heâs not a baldie Askeaton joker like yourself in fairness pal.
Donât be so sensitive Ger he was only messing

From Doon?
Heâs a lovely fella, principal in Sexton Street CBS Primary School. Whatâs he like as a coach?
Donât recall ever coming across him as a coach.
Look mate, youâre grand and harmless and all but we donât accept outsiders, especially Cork ones, so you can stop trying now.
