Limerick v Kilkenny - All Ireland Final 2022 - The Hego final

Was it him that hit Conor Browne high early on? He didn’t do half as much providing as I’d expect of him, and he was loose in the tackle a lot of the time. He’s like a centre in rugby to hit though. He tried to wrap up Walter on the sideline midway through the second half and got bounced altogether that one time

WOD suffers from the fact that he is so good at wrecking balling, his opponents have decided to try to completely bypass him. KK didn’t even try to win the midfield battle

Nope

you can make a case for Sean Finn above any KK corner back though

I think Mike Casey is as good as Noel Hickey

Nicky Quaid is better than PJ Ryan\McGarry

Hannon is better than any number 6 kilkenny have had as far back as I can remeber

Tommy Walsh might be the most dominant hurler ever in his prime.

Ye ended up with 13 of the 15 starters from 2018 in the final didn’t ye?

I’d say ye have done exceptionally well on the injury front

TJ is unreal in the air, but I think Walsh was the best ever I’ve seen at that skill. For a man who wasn’t physically imposing to be consistently catching puck outs against lads who usually had a significant height advantage over him was sensational. Whatever way he did it, just class.

Just mad as a Limerick fan to be even in the conversation as that 2006-2009 KK team. Like everyone else we were looking on in awe at them for so long.

Kyle and Gillane probably shouldn’t have played. Reidy had a bad knock too. We had a lot of injuries this year… That S&C guy is clearly shit.

We have but we lost the only current player with 2 HOTYs. Massive, massive loss

He’s not nearly at their level.

Yeah, he should of taken the frisbee off Gillane

Exactly

He was. But clearly rubbish to say ye have been unlucky with injury

Been destroyed with injuries all year, phenomenal to overcome it all.

Hopefully this gets an airing on Liveline today. Not the song, now.

Only the two all stars injured for most of the year. Kyle Hayes (another multiple All Star) missed a game with injury. Aaron Gillane (multiple All Star) missed a game through injury and probably wasn’t right for the final. Seamus Flanagan (All Star) missed a game.

But yeah, no injury worries really

The Dow singing it outside the Still House. Folk can complain to their employers or JP and will be rightly told to fuck off.

SSSSSHHHHH We have come back to the pack remember :wink:

Shane Dowling and his ilk are other side of the coin of those scumbags singing about Michaela Harte.

Over the five years or so kiely has been in charge there’s been a few season Enders tbf.

P Casey has gotten no real luck. Mike Casey and English missed season. Lynch and Kyle picked up injuries this year but I’d say we’ve done ok and that’s a reflection of the various s and c guys. Couple of guys around the squad have gotten injured too like Jerome Boylan and a few others. Dowling had to retire as well.

I’d also the say the break in 2020 for a couple of months and then the seriously reduced schedule in 2020 and 2021 has been a huge blessing. It surely gave Everyone a huge chance to recharge their batteries and allow various niggly injuries clear up. These Limerick players have played a lot less hurling than would have been the case if it was not for avoid

Listening to Johnny Hanbury talked about the injuries and knocks in 2018 was eye opening.

That’s a bit of a reach!
