My lads have put in a phenomenal effort to get here but we’re up against a Limerick juggernaut. Songs have been written, 32 page Limerick Leader supplements have been printed , and the Red Cow has been booked out
We line as selected. Usual provisos - Seamie comes out occasionally to give big John a break.
Cauliflower has a team full of big day men who you can rely on in Croke Park plus two Waterford lads, one of which is also in the other team. That had to give him the edge over the likes of Donie Ryan, Mike Houlihan, Quaid and Farragher
Ten multiple all Ireland winners on Cauli’s team. Hard to beat that type of pedigree
Listen, we are here on merit, the underdogs once more. The political organisers have attempted to knock my team at every turn but in doing so they have created an element of support & affection for my charges.
We have quietly gone about our business since the QF and have prepared to the best of our abilities to meet another strong foe on the field of battle. We will leave it all out there once more.
Hmm. Big Mick raising doubts over the number of non all Ireland winners selected on the Limerick manager’s team. Of course big Mick had a similar number of non all Ireland winners selected on his own team. Hmm. Mick raising doubts over the 2 pointer donie Ryan when Mick selected 2 pointer Seamus Prendergast. Hmm. At least Donie Ryan scored 2 goals in an all Ireland semi final. Seems the kind of wild card you’d want on your team in the semi final stage of this competition.
That was a very close one. Hard luck @Watchyourtoes, would have loved to see that team in the final. You’d have to say the best team won though, @caulifloweredneanderthal‘s Kilkenny upbringing
is really standing to him here.
