Third (if you go by All Star HOTY).
Bally hale and
Mount Sion
Under the Texaco HOTY, both Thurles Sars and Blackrock had multiple winners, maybe others as well.

I got there just before 3 and was in straight away. Had decent enough Lower Cusack tickets on the half way line and luckily enough we were about 10 rows from the back so were in the shade. Lot of people filing out of the Cusack afterwards looked fairly shook from the sun. The young fellow thoroughly enjoyed his first All Ireland Final. He was cheering for Limerick, probably mostly to try and annoy his old man so he professed himself to be very happy with the outcome.

Ah yes.
I had to search it. Doora Barefield and James Stephen’s too in the Texaco HOTY
Worth every cent
Especially as they left Clare out of the roll of honours

Don’t mind the Texaco one. That was a cod to sell oil. The All Star one is the only one that matters.
And it’s another cod at times
Catching the ball was a Wexford innovation.
I’d wager most of the great fielders in hurling were/are Leinster men.
Rackard, Doran, Darragh Ryan from Wexford. Reid and Walsh Kilkenny. Pat Delaney and Kevin Kinahan Offaly.

How did they react in Waterford on 1959 when Christy Ring ended up as Texaco Hurler of the Year? Did it take the good out of the All Ireland win the way it did for Tipperary folk on 2016 when Seamie missed out on Hurler of the Year.
Byrnes had a few great takes today to be fair. Kilkenny had a few great ones in the backs as well. Gillane has a great hand too.
A nice day out for a neutrals
Tactics beat whacktics
Well done to the #limericks

Kk were much improved in their use of ball this year tbf. I doubt there’s anyone could get more out of that team than Cody.
Walter made a big impact, but when you are still turning to him and Richie you know the pool is thin

Thought the ref was good today. Put away the whistle and let them at it. I know thats not actually reffing it. But its what we all want to see
