What a day! After 17 years... to actually win it, a pretty unforgettable moment. I'm not even sure it has fully kicked in yet, we are Munster champions..... the fans were unbelievable, and just looking back at that pitch invasion, it was pretty special.
As for the match itself, it was a poor enough first half from our pov...a great start but Cork were well on top, Harnedy and Cronin in particular stood out, they were fantastic. But they hit so many bad wides, the fact that we were going in level at half-time was amazing, I felt we were going to do it then, having the bench we had. The red card was obviously a big factor, and while technically it may have been one, it was harsh. After that, I suppose they were never going to do it in that heat (but I think we would have won anyway).
Second half, we looked a lot better, we were utterly dominant in defence, and while at one stage, Cork pegged it back to 2 points (Naughton and Cronin both scored great points), we kicked on once we emptied the bench, Downes and Dowling both made huge impressions. A goal would have been nice, but we were clinical in taking our points.
Jim-Bob, deserved man-of-the-match, he was immense. Some fantastic points, his work rate was huge, he seemed to be everywhere.
Been a critic of Breen in the past, thought he was one of our few players to look good in the first half, Richie Mc- very solid again, Mulcahy grew into the game in the 2nd half, Paul Browne and Hickey both got through an amount of work too. It wasn't all perfect but I'm not going to criticise anyone today, after doing what we've been waiting for for years.
Well done to the minors too, showed great heart to fight back from 7 or 8 points down with about 10 minutes to go, Lynch and Morrissey scored goals and could have sneaked it at the end.
Unbelievable day. DOG's speech aswell, pretty good, better than some of the other ones that drag on and on with thank yous.

Fairplay lads some win, nice to see ye do it. No doubt Horgan's sending off had a big impact, and the wrong call I reckon but I wouldn't begrudge ye the rub of the green (hope the Cork lads don't either). Having been outplayed in the first half, going into the second half level and with the wind and wit that bench I reckon ye would have snuck it anyway.
When was the last time a team won a Munster without leaving their own County though, eh?
Messing of course, thoroughly deserved some great displays from Richie McCarthy, DOG and James Ryan in particular and some great scores taken too.
Well done on the comeback in the minor too, forgive me but I would have physically vomited though had we lost. Last night's wounds are fresh enough as it is.0 -

Ah god, yesterday was just up there with the best days ever. Like in the last 5 minutes, yknow when your team is a good few points ahead but you still don't want to believe its over until its over.
All I could hear was someone behind me "lads, it's not over. cork could pull an offaly on us and shade it like 94!!" :P
Like Richie Mc was just class. As was our full back line in general. Like Richie, if he keeps it up, definite all star in the bag. Some man.
I agree with Fireball and Mount though, there's alot more in Hannon than what was on show yesterday. Although that point from the sideline was absolutely beautifuuuul. Like sometiiimes, his work rate in comparison to players like jim ryan and wayne mc, they'd literally run themselves out of their skins yknow while then sometimes I just feel Hannon is abit...slack? Maybe I'm alone on that view but that's just what I see sometimes when I'd be watching. Not denying the fact that he's probably one of the most talented players on the pitch cause he is. All the same 8 points yesterday, can haaaardly complain :P
And clearing our bench. Reaally worked bringing on players like Shane Dowling, Downes etc. Great having a wide range of options.
Brought a tear to my eye seeing Moran score that point when he came on. Such a servant to Limerick hurling over the years. just getting to see the likes of Moran and Dodge finally get a munster medal, just unbelievable. So happy for them.
And that pitch invasion at the end. And that speech. And seeing Dodge lift the cup. And just everything about it. Unfortunately I was only 2 when Limerick last won Munster, so finally getting to experience it after the years of coming so close (and other years, not so close..
), was unforgettable.
Ah im so cringe. But it's claaaass being able to say to people after the match "i'll see ya in croker sure". Unreal. H'on Limerick 0 -
