Don’t try to figure it out just admire it
Limerick…0-30 Kilkenny…2-15 Any hurling aficionados among you might recognise the above headline. It has been here before. On the occasion Meath defeated Antrim for the first time in the Christy Ring Cup Final some years back before a re-fixture was ordered over some cock up with the full time score. But Meath were so good…

Whatever plan you have, they’ll come up with a better one
Limerick… 2-24 Galway… 1-18 Evidence that good players don’t always make good managers is ample. No need to name names but there have quite a few Galacticos who’ve flopped worse than a Premier League footballer trying to con their way to a penalty. Henry Shefflin absolutely does not belong in the above category. He couldn’t…

Dempsey departure GAA peculiarity at its finest
Temptation was to begin this piece with reference to people starting things and not finishing them and having form for same. Perhaps best to leave that parked though. If only because Ray Dempsey could hardly have started much in Limerick and today he departed after just five league games. Ironically only days after getting their…

A hard habit to break
Meath…2-11 Limerick…0-17 In what turned out to be Mick O’Dowd’s last game as Meath manager, his charges led Derry by seven points at half time in an All Ireland SFC Qualifier before capitulating spectacularly after half time. This corner cannot recall whether it had happened prior to that, but it certainly has been a habit…

Limerick’s greatness indisputable as the road ahead looks mapped out
Limerick…1-31 Kilkenny…2-26 In a game of 60 scores over 74 minutes, it almost feels somewhere between futile and knit picking to start looking for and talking about turning points. Yet though this will doubtless be painful by the banks of the Nore at the minute, there were a few vital things which went against Kilkenny…
