We’ll done to Limerick - a special team with so many leaders. It was a tremendous game to be at and Hegarty’s performance was as good as I’ve seen on All Ireland final day. Hard luck to Kilkenny who put up a great fight, had a few bad wides, and drifted from the plan at times. There were a few occasions also where Cody and his selectors seemed to be arguing…
Enjoy the celebrations Limerick lads - what a time for ye.

Think Kilkenny left it very late to bring on Richie Hogan. Wonder how fit he was.
He got a score during one of their mini waves of momentum and it felt like the tide had turned
When you see see someone as limited as Walter Welsh in there you knew Kilkenny were in big trouble

That was a tremendous point he scored down near the sideline. Might be his swansong. Used to be mesmerised by his performances in Croker when he was hurling minor.
Huw Lawlor. A Welsh parent by chance?
Ahem

Delighted to go to it last minute.
Kilkenny will felt like they left a lot of scores out there especially in front of the Cusack stand. Mullen should have passed one to RH and scored another.
Richie Reid missed an excusable one.
An awkward left hander with size appears to be the only thing that can slow Hego down. By the time Blachfield came on the damage was done. He will be MOTM but Nash, Finn or Hannon would be ahead when it comes to HOTY.
Ref rode KK in first half but probably evened it up in the second.
Well done Limerick, best team in the land.
What an incredible match. Where previously many have attempted to, no one can slight this win. That kk team fought every fucking minute of the game and made us earn it under the most trying of competition and condition
What a fucking team. Couldn’t be prouder of my county or the sport. Incredible

The Kilkenny management had an unreal sense of calm after the game. I reckon their mantra was ‘make the fuckers earn it’. And that they did. They can have no regrets.

Limerick led from pillar to post more or less. When Kilkenny got level with the Hogan point, they marched up the field and did what they do best. An unreal team. Proper champions. Forget 4-in-a-row. I’d expect five.

This would be my shout. An incredible leader.
Nothing against him but I did say earlier in the year KK couldn’t win an AI with him as CB.
He didn’t cost them today but he’s isn’t in the same parish as a Declan Hannon.

Who did we watch for the last time today?
Graeme Mulcahy?
Richie Hogan?
Anyone else
Remember what happened in 92 and 93.
Hindsight is wonderful but Padraig Walsh/Conor Delaney to 6 and Blanchfield to 7 next year.
Put Paddy Deegan to 11 and draft in Billy Drennan ASAP
