Unfortunately I can see the Limerick half back line getting cleaned out especially if Mick Fennelly is up to speed. The only player off the Limerick bench that has got game time is Tom Ryan. Contrast this to Kilkennys bench and weāre in big trouble. Hope Iām wrong about the half back line as we can win if they hold Kilkenny to a respectable level there.
Limerick have excellent players on their bench but their mostly untried this year. There is absolutely no backup plan for Richie Mcarthy and Wayne Mac and thats before we even get to other glaring weaknesses. The management have taken the lazy option and just started the same 15\16 again and again.
Hoping for the best all the same.

Well the Limerick forwards will do damage if they get enough ball and for that to happen the Limerick midfield and half back line will have to impose themselves on the game.This is an obvious statement but i think it will be advantage Kilkenny if Paudie OāBrien and Gavin OāMahony arenāt firing on all cylinders on Sunday.
GOM and Paudie are there to be cleaned- every time I single out a Limerick player to be exposed they give a master class. We will batter those old bastards on sunday, bring on Henry and the other tullerone pikie, wont matter a damn
Fuck @TreatyStones did you name this thread right. Well done to our hurlers today. Considering the first half of their year it was phenomenal. We are about as good as anyone on our day but are still just those two to three players away from being better enough to bury themā¦ But they showed spirit today. Gutting.
Great effort from Limerick but hopefully everyone connected will realise it wasnāt good enough. Bit more experience and one or two new fellows unearthed and Limerick will be going home with the big prize within the next two years.

Iām still cut up. Still in disbelief. The ten minute spell when the rain was coming like nothing Iāve ever seen was immense. Both sides, no holds barred, just tore into the other sideā¦ There was about ten fouls, no frees given, just everyone getting on with it. The place went wild.
