Kiely sticking with Hickey would be my worry too, but if Richie is at his best heās our best option at full back and it frees up hickey for half back where he is needed. Better use of resources. Hickey at least tries to do the right thing with the ball, Byrnes isnāt even doing that at the moment. I think Byrnes will come good, but I think he needs a wake up call and the timing is right.
In the absence of a standout candidate for 11 right now Iād be looking at Hayes for summer. Weāre not sophisticated enough to play some sort of small nippy roaming centre forward. Agree Murphy more likely for 11 than Casey, but Iād pick neither there. Tom Morrissey has done enough to keep that spot for the next game though.

Some coup for the lad to get cheddar on.
Would he have an inside track there?
I was just thinking that earlier that the Doon boys are having a very good league. At the start of the league I didnāt think any would start come championship but the four of them are playing themselves into contention. English has been excellent, will be very interesting when Casey returns. Donovan had a few good performances before his injury. Murphy has kind of come from nowhere, even up to yesterday I thought he might still be a bit lightweight and was getting easily beaten to the first few balls that came into him but was excellent after that. One thing he needs to add to his game now is a little more selfishness, his first instinct is to look for a pass. Iām not sure if this is a confidence thing. A few of the na piarsaigh players are still probably a bit ahead of him but a few more performances like yesterday and he becomes difficult to drop. Pat Simon is looking like he could become a man to be sprung from the bench consistently to inject a bit of pace.
Iād say since Willie Moore who has an all ireland medal from 73 in his arse pocket Doon havenāt really had a consistent starter for Limerick

Whatās the general view down Shannonside. Will they go all out or are they not too pushed now that promotion has been achieved?
If we can put together 15 lads who are sober after a week of touring the county we have every chance.

The general view is that we will walk it.
Clare at home is ideal, 50/50 gameā¦fancy Limerick if we cut out half the wides.
Not like ye
Workin Sunday the wireless will have to suffice.
Nor likely
Iām not sure how much of a benefit it will be to advance to the final tbh but another game wouldnāt hurt either team. Thereās a view still that McInerney will be needed in the full back line and that Shanahan should be included somewhere so Clare have a few things to work on yet.
Clare have it all to do
Theyāve done better than your predictions of losing every game anyway

I would have Jamie Shanahan starting in the half backs 100%, top player. jack browne and Pat OāConnor two huge weak links for me. Super pace in the full forward line. I think it will be a good game.
A fully fit and league hardened Clare should have enough youād imagine. Be a much better workout for Limerickā¦ Iād imagine Clare have probably got all they want from the league unless they have designs on winning it out?
There was no point in doing 50 sessions a month if theyāre not going all out to win it
