Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

Sad for Peter Casey hopefully makes a speedy recovery!

Some great success for Limerick the past few years. Do any of you have details on the JP money? Where is it mainly focused or is it spread widely? Obviously an increase in coaches has improved things and development squads get a lot of attention?

Physically, Limerick are immense. Some top class strength and conditioning personnel involved clearly. Do you see any improvements in standards outside the senior hurlers? In camógie, underage, football?

Mike Casey should be back playing soon. We need to give more game times to Mike, Richie, and the fringe players David Dempsey, Cathal ONeill, Colin Coughlan, Pat Ryan, Barry Hennessy, Adrian Breen, David Reidy etc in the league. With the round robin format next year we will need a strong panel because injuries may become a bigger issue.

Jurys Croke Park was completely closed. As far as i know it's a Covid Quarantine Hotel as is the Red Cow in Clondalkin.

Strange to see Gills closed up too. Phil Ryan's near Gill's was open. Not sure what kind of a set-up they had but the queue was about 100 metres long as i passed on my way into the stadium. Looked like there was a large red bus serving pints (plastic cups) or cans too near Gills corner.

I heard is Peter Casey out u till June.

For where ?

If Doon can keep their main men fit they could have a chance, I think Na Piarsigh have been weakened a bit, especially in the forwards, with Casey and Dowling gone for this year. Would be good to see Doon coming up, crazy to think they've never won it. Might be a year or two early for Ballybrown but they are coming. Garryspillane could suprise a few, their Minor winning squads are coming through.

€2 for u16 on the Limerick website. Everyone needs a ticket cause of Covid but there are still kids and OAP too

Why should junior cost less than senior ?

Following your club is following your club and senior fans don't have more money just cause it's bigger clubs

The current hurler of the year Gearoid Hegarty is playing junior with St. Pats.

Always worth the admission fee to see him in action. An absolute freak of nature.

Guaranteed to score 10-15 points per match.

I think Patrickswell have to be favourites this year given the form of their intercounty players

Would you think Michael Houlihan should get a chance with Limerick. Probably Kilmallock's most improved and consistent player now.

Think this is about his 5th year playing senior with Kilmallock? he played a small bit of u21 with Limerick in 2018 as a sub but didn't make the step up to senior.

He's certainly an excellent player at club level, 6 from play last night and very reliable from frees. I suppose there is so much competition to even get a look in for Limerick it's very hard to get in on club form alone. Nearly everyone on the panel seems to have been continously involved from underage...

It was an emphatic response from Patrickswell after their loss last week. Shows what can happen when one of the top players in the country is really on a going day playing against good club level players. Gillane laid waste to the Ahane full back line. Easy to say now but they'll regret not playing Dan Morrissey at full back, he didn't really influence the game from midfield.

Byrnes, Seanie O Brien and Jason Gillane were very good and Josh Considine is another powerful wing back who can motor up and down the pitch and get scores.

Tom Morrissey kept plugging away in a losing cause. Also Niall Moran still battling away for Ahane, I remember watching him play in a senior county final in 1999. A great servant.
