In before the Dubs start preaching that Croker is a neutral venue
For the record. Cusack park is not an easy spot to go to to get a result but sure we beat them in the first game there so hopefully we can go and win there again.
The croker thing probably holds a bit more validity for the hurlers in fairness but it still is stretching it.
Agree re. Cusack Park, without trying to insult any Clare folk it is a dump and is not fit to hold inter-county senior hurling games tbh.0 -

Careful now, Cusack Park is a great stadium, after all it has an Aldi and a Tesco right next to it, you're just concentrating on the cr@p facilities, the terrible wire, the awful galvanise roof, the river on 1 side, the lack of shops, the lack of exits. I like to think that the Millienium Stadium was modelled after Cusack Park
LOL yeah your're probably right, I like the playing field that has the dimensions of a pool table the best though 0 -

The pitch is actually too big, when it's put out to the edges it's maximum regulation width (1 of the few pitches that is), Clare teams normally narrow the pitch cause it suits the teams more. The pitch is also actually a very good surface, it's 1 of the few positives about the place (besides the location of course).
Anyway, we shouldn't be taking a Limerick GAA thread off topic

I'm actually a fan of Cusack Park myself, have had some bad days there following the county, but I've been to a few Clare county finals down the years and its a good place for a hurling match, pitch has usually been in good nick, and a good atmosphere to be had too. There's something very old fashioned about Cusack Park that appeals to me, can't quite put my finger on it! Could do with a bit of modernisation in the odd place alright but it ain't the worst!0 -

It's only ever been narrowed once as far as I can remember but it worked that day alright. Very big field in fairness. An old fashioned spot but a great place for a game like the one at the weekend. If it's tight the atmosphere should be brilliant.0 -
A very good win for the Limerick minor hurlers tonight - beating Cork 2-14 V 0-12
There is obviously a good crop of hurlers around for ye - the recent harty wins prove this.
Thanks for that Shamobuc. Limerick's first in in donkey's years against a team other than Kerry. Yeah reasons for optimism alright but optimism is a sign of insanity in Limerick fans 0 -

Well, he definitely has the players and enthusiasm. There are some smashing young guys coming through the ranks now - Kevin Downes, Sean Tobin, Graeme Mulcahy, Brendan O'Connor, Declan Hannon, Jack Aherne, Shane Dowling - i know Cork folk should be familiar with Dowling after last Wednesday nights minor gameDelighted for ye - I thought ye needed a good cork man in charge to sort ye out;)
Ard Scoil Rís' Harty Cup wins have given a huge boost to hurling in the county. Mix this with the other more established guys like Seamus Hickey, Donal O'Grady and Damien Reale and it makes for a very solid team.
Yes there's lots of work to be done on the first touch, but they showed a nice variety in their play last night, mixing long and short passing. I've been Tom Condon's biggest critic, i never thought he was in any way good enough for inter-county standard. He made me eat my words last night with as good a display as you will see from a corner back. I'm loathe to say it, but i think Stephen Lucey needs to be brought back to the number 3 position, Gavin O'Mahony is not really suited to full back and does his best hurling on the forty.
Really looking foward to the championship now.0 -

Lads reckon Limerick have a great chance of winning a munster title this year.Waterfords record against Limerick is nothing to write home about and it is going to be a tight match.If ye can get the breaks in the last few minutes i think ye can turn them over. Once in a munster final no tema will fancy meeting ye. My darkhorse for munster title this year.
Ah yeah the Waterford boys trying the auld mind games Waterford will relish playing Limerick, recent records mean nothing as this is a very different Limerick team, and tbh if you asked any of the three teams in the other side of the draw which team they would prefer to play in a munster final im sure they would all nominate Limerick.
O'Grady is doing a fantastic job to date dont get me wrong but there is very little doubt that Limerick are fourth in the pecking order as things stand.0 -
