Limerick GAA - it's Box Office - Always Has Been, Always Will Be

Has never happened in the last 10 years.

endakenny · March 30, 2018, 9:45pm

Probably in the Top 5 hurlers of this generation.

Your_Mums_Athletic · March 30, 2018, 9:48pm

He might have a fair chance of getting clattered by one of Hayes or Hegarty, two tough lads.

Your_Mums_Athletic · March 30, 2018, 9:49pm

He has always had a great platform to work off but a fine hurler.

endakenny · March 30, 2018, 9:51pm

Do you honestly think Paudie Maher hasnt been targeted before, its a waste of time.
Teams need to keep the ball away from him or at least play half forwards who will play him from the front.

A great platform which he has created himself by catching about 10 balls each game.

Your_Mums_Athletic · March 30, 2018, 9:55pm

It is his pace Limerick will target tomorrow, as with Barry and Hammil. A 50/50 match I would think.

endakenny · March 30, 2018, 9:56pm

I’d agree with you on Hamills pace, the rest not much so.

David Breen gave Maher plenty of hassle in 2013 and 2014 (and possibly 2012?), was moved off him in at least one of those games.

Hegarty/Hayes could be just the type to cause him trouble too, draw fouls and stop Maher making clean catches. Still Maher seems to clear an amount of ball in every game no matter what the opposition try.

The only people to ever really beat Padraic Maher were Aisake O’hAipin and Johnny Glynn when he was full back.

At half back he’s been close to untouchable

Smark · March 30, 2018, 10:21pm

What age is Garda Paudie Maher now?

Pity we couldn’t stick Mike Houlihan on Paudie Maher tomorrow.

Hup boys. Today will be the springboard for the rest of a memorable season. Get to thurles to see it.

Bandage · March 31, 2018, 9:30am

Is there enough time for the Limerick support to get from Thomond Park to Semple Stadium in between games today?

Bod95 · March 31, 2018, 9:38am

Just about doable

Phil_Leotardo · March 31, 2018, 9:45am

I’d be surprised if there is many planning to go to both

dodgy_keeper · March 31, 2018, 9:51am

I can confirm at least one TFK poster will be making the frantic trip from the rugby football to Semple Stadium. He’s planning to park up by Ivan’s and make a hasty retreat post the rugby football.

And no, it’s not me!

Phil_Leotardo · March 31, 2018, 10:02am

There’s probably loads who’d normally be at both if they were on different days. Real hurling men will be in Thurles and won’t be bothered making stupid dashes

dodgy_keeper · March 31, 2018, 10:02am

Good start to the day for Knockaderry’s Tom Condon who won the princely sum of €100 in this mornings Club Limerick draw.

(I’m assuming it’s the same person.)

PhattPike · March 31, 2018, 10:08am

Antney Daly, writing in his regular advertisement piece for his pub in the Cork Examiner, reckons we’ll win the league for the team holiday to Oz alone.
