    I think Clare are doing well to only 6 points behind. Feels like a bit of a hammering on overall play.

    Limerick by far the stronger team. Clare not really up to much. Apart from Tony Kelly they are miles off the pace.

    8 points down now, totally lacking in midfield and half forwards. 32 points is some return in October.

    36 points is some scoring.
    Kelly was immense.
    Deserved win.

    For how impressive Limerick have been a full forward line of callanan, john McGrath, forde maybe a bubbles or Jake morris in the mix too could do damage against a makeshift full back line.

    36 points is some amount of scoring, mainly from play as well but Clare didn't have a midfield or half forward line so Limerick could shoot at will almost.

    Decent first half. I feel Limerick will go on to win by 10 points as they've a far healthier spread of scorers and that wind is worth a nice few points. Clare are just about hanging in there.

    Not a bad ht call :)

      With the exception of 2018 championship Clare have been a fierce disappointment since 2013... shame really.. as they play really brilliant hurling when going well.. I heard before game that just 4 of the 2013 panel are still the involved.. is this true?

      Like the football, we undersell our national leagues so much. Barely a glance on tv of teams lifting their trophies. Promote it FFS.

        Only 4 of the starting team from 2013 started today so that might be what you heard, but that was 7 years ago so not to be that surprising.

        The league hasn't mattered in years

        Donol Og surprisingly not knowing the history of the game in saying 'I don't know how many leagues Limerick have won but it's not that many' as Limerick win their 13th National League going only one behind Cork on the roll of honour.

        Uncharacteristic ignorance or possibly arrogance.

        Not down to the Sliothar. When lads aren't tackling or blocking its easy run up big scores. It was challenge match stuff on both sides. Was there even one good shoulder today from either side. Lads had acres of room when shooting.

        Hurleys are just so good now as well, they're almost like golf clubs with the level of engineering that goes into them with a great sweet spot on them. The standardized sliothar was 1 of the best improvements in the game

        That’s it. Technology and equipment is always evolving. But pitch length is same so issues are arising

        When lads are breaking hurls just hitting a sliothar you know its hard and heavy enough. We're expecting lads to catch these things moving at 100km/h and to take one to the body on occasion. I'd take a few extra points ahead of regular broken fingers or serious damage from a sliothar to the body or neck.
