Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

they can't be giving debuts for the sake of it we have a few coming but this yr a little early

mulcahy I suppose was always going to start with our injuries maybe there'll be changes beforehand but I doubt it. re the future I don't think you can blame kiely and kinnerk they're there to win now and of course have an eye on the future. I'm hoping you won't be thinking them stale at 6 tomorrow evening.

getting out of munster is the first priority if we get to june we might have our full hand back

I'm from Parteen/Meelick. I have parents from Limerick and Clare. Id follow both teams.

Guys I'm gone very pessimistic in my outlook for Limerick this year. I should have more trust in Kinnerk and Kiely I guess. I think Cork will win tomorrow and then Waterford will win next week and then it's down to Clare and Tipp Games. The Clare game in Ennis ....50/50. I hope Im wrong but I haven't been in a long time

Only Flanagan is out and Casey a long term absentee. Lynch will start.

Waterford are really the only team that if everything went well for them that could come close to Limerick. There are big question marks over the Cork defence and Tipperary are going through a transition. Clare are depending too much on Tony Kelly and do not have a strong enough squad. Galway are going through a transition and Dublin and Wexford do not have strong enough squads. Kilkenny will win Leinster but are not strong enough to win an All Ireland at the moment. Limerick may not win all the battles this year but they will win the war.

Mod Edit

Warning issued.

Fantastic performance on Sunday which answered any questions that the poor league campaign had raised.

Not sure what Cork were at during the game. It was poor stuff from them, they looked clueless at times with players literally not knowing what to do with the ball, dwelling on it too long and getting turned over. You could feel the nervousness up in the stand.

Great skills on show from the likes of Byrnes, Hegarty and Lynch. Hegarty has this ability to beautifully control the ball into his hand, and then use his strength to see off tacklers. Byrnes showed real leadership and his long range points got Limerick up and running after a slow start - Limerick had committed too many players forward to the ruck at the throw in which allowed Cahalane to run free and set up the goal.

I thought the midfield duo were outstanding also. Will O’Donoghue won a couple of frees by pressurising Cork players into errors. Those contributions are the equivalent of a forward knocking over points.

Thought the Kyle Hayes switch, which many had speculated about, worked out well. He is a real presence up there. The defending for his goal was ridiculous. One turn out on the sideline was enough to put two Cork backs completely out of the game. A real pity that he was injured. Hopefully he just felt a twinge rather than a more serious tear.

Finn was excellent as usual and great to see Mike Casey playing as if he’d never been out. I thought Tom Morrissey struggled at times, he looked sluggish, and his striking was off. He’ll bounce back to form soon enough, but I’d like to see Cathal O’Neill start against Waterford.

Great day, and definitely worth the nine hours in the car on Sunday!

Evening all, heading down to enjoy the hospitality/match on Saturday. Where is the best place for parking near the Gaelic Grounds?

Thanks

Thanks for that Breezy, have used Woodies for league matches in the past alright. Wasn't sure if the likes of Na Piarsaigh would be opening their facilities to generate a few quid is all

Na Piarsigh normally do open up.

A few cycle lanes have been segregated in the area also so that will remove a few areas. Unless people park in between the bollards....

Na Piarsaigh Clubhouse is best bet closeish to the ground if you are early before 5 for both parking and a drink. Not many other options for a drink close to ground, Woodfield House will be jammers jammers from an early stage saturday afternoon.

Other than that Park in city centre and walk out , not that far and with big crowd you wont notice it .

Anybody hear anything about Kyle Hayes injury? Things seem to be kept watertight behind the scenes.

If he has a hamstring problem I doubt very much if they'll take a chance with him for a round Robin match

Looked like he wasn't that bad from what I saw on the tv but no point in making it worse if there is an issue there. He was definitely limping.

If he doesn't play then Richie English comes in and Nash goes in to the forwards? He has played there before if I remember correctly. Management doesn't seem to want to start any of the substitute full forwards going on last week.

😂😂😂 Conor Boylan is starting... it's already announced...🤦‍♂️
