Limerick GAA - We get knocked down šŸ

ā€œHarry should not judge the Limerick team on the tip game. A lot of injuries meant that it was inevitable that tip would win well.ā€

alot of injuries alright but hopefully barrett j mcgrath corbett m cahill omahony & maybe n mcgrath will be back soon. if weā€™d had them all in limerick thereā€™d have been some slaughter altogether

Corbett :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:, would you start him?

Itā€™s a good sign that they can play badly and win the game.

In fairness to Cork, they must be very disappointed.

Limerickā€™s Anthony Daly giving it the big 'un at full time. Ah fantastic.

6 in 50 years actually. Would be 7 but for the umpires feeling sorry for Limerick in 73

Stephen Quirke tore his cruciate as well and he would be Tippā€™s main ball winner

Congratulations Limerick minor sšŸ‘‹

Thank you Joe.

Limerickā€™s Anthony Daly did a good job tonight.

While I love youā€™re optimism, itā€™s very hard to agree with you. Iā€™m heading to Mullingar on Sunday and while I do appteciate itā€™s a no win situation for the lads, Iā€™m expevting to see a serious improvement in fitness and first touch as well as genuine communication and covering. But to be honest while a win is a win, itā€™ll be the performance that will count.

Why are they all in such ill fitting tops?

One size fits all?

Wouldnt need to now that we have Forde givin it holly. and Breen :sunglasses:

Good win for the minors tonight although youā€™d have to admit that it was grand larceny. Cork hit 15 or 16 wides, some of them unforgiveable, and allowed Limerick to hang in when they should have been out the gate.

Both teams played sweepers, Cork more effectively, and they dominated most of the outfield possession. They failed to put Limerick away though and we were far more effective in taking our chances from limited opportunities.

Peter Casey is a class act. Flawless from frees and buried the winning goal when the ball broke to him. Tommy Grimes had a massive second half and Kyle Hayes and Conor Byrnes also did very well. Flanagan was quiet - an early yellow limiting his effectiveness.

It was the best Cork minor side Iā€™ve seen in a good few years. Shane Kingston was obviously a huge loss and Coleman, the wing-back who moved to midfield looks a great prospect.

Happy for Leo too. He doesnā€™t make it easy on himself at times but it was good to see him get a break. Limerick were solid on the line, stuck to the task and never panicked.

As a final note, the referee had a howler. Inconsistent, unfit, overweight and just bad.

Who was the ref?

Paul Foley of Waterford.

An unbridled Ballygunner cunt.

And you can quote me on that.

A win is a winā€¦ 2 more games guaranteed, thatā€™s all you want at that age.

Well apart from a good ride, a pair of loose shoes and a warm place to shit.

Paul Flynn was one of his umpires.

He was terrible. Rode Limerick rock solid in the first half. Balanced it up slightly in the second half. Cork broke through on the 21 at one stage, lad was fouled but gave the pass away to a team mate who was through one on one. Pulled it back for the free in after failing to play advantage.

The report from @Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr is spot on. Daylight robbery. Weā€™ve lost enough games in such circumstances though, like the game upon which this proud and noble thread was built.

Cork were devastated at the end. They were well up for it, fist pumping all through the game both on the pitch and on the line. That cunt with the sombrero was distraught on the pitch at full time.

Thought Grimes was brilliant in the second half when the chips were down. Brilliant to win a game like that. Pure grit and stubbornness with a touch of class from Casey. Most of our main lads - McNamara, Flanagan, Murphy - were well below par so it was nice to dig it out. Hayes at wing forward was excellent too.

Coleman and Healy excellent for Cork. Amazing how they lost it. With Kingston they would have won pulling up.
