Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

Morrissey deserved a nomination..Fantastic all league and in Munster . Hayes deserves the accolade but Gillane will get it. Hayes is probably going to retire as one of the greatest hurlers of all time.

2 Interesting quarter finals in Senior Hurling Sunday

Might be a year or two too soon for Mungret to turnover one of the top 4 Doon in this case.

Patrickswell 3 big guns Gillane, Lynch & Byrnes should ensure theyve enough to beat fellow parishoners Ballybrown.

Ballybrown(2016) are the only team outside of the big 4 ( Nap,Well,Kmllk,Doon) to appear in a county final over the past 10 years . Over the last 10 years Na Piarsaigh have won 6 , Kilmallock 2 & Patrickswell 2 .

Sorry, but this interview grated me. I know I shouldn't be getting annoyed about things like this, but A) Are Doon factually a 'young' team in comparison to others? It was mentioned about 6 or 7 times in this interview. B) The constant mention of the 'project' screams, 'we have an out if we end up losing matches' etc.

That interview from the Doon guy was defeatist garbage. Good job he wasn't in tbe limerick dressing room in 2018. Mungret will probably beat them

Elitism or what 🤷‍♂️

Don't know many foreign trips where each child that can go requires a parent/guardian going too. Schools trips are generally for TY or 5th year, most of these will be in 1st year or still in primary school, scout trips are generally something like camping weekend in a neighbouring county not a week in Portugal. Having it on 1st come 1st serve basis surely putting unnecessary pressure on families too.

I just assumed the parents thing was some 21st century safeguarding stuff.

Long time since I was in school so can't really remember what age kids were. Scouts definitely go abroad though on those Jamborees and all that shte.

Don't hundreds of kids GAA clubs travel to Ireland from around the world for some big tournament ?

Well except for the year Na Piarsaigh did win it. NaP also have an amazing Munster record.

The reason is Limerick doesn't have a "super club". Just look at The Well who have 2 maybe 3 Hurler of the Year but are not even favourites to win Limerick.

Most people are just Envious of where the 3 Big city clubs have got to , loads of players, loads of sharp people to run their clubs and plenty of money.

Many clubs out the country dont have enough for underage teams, too few capable people to run a club and moneys tight, there are too many clubs out the county based on a Parish model which isnt fit for purpose anymore.

many clubs are joined up underage and need to do this at adult level going forward to be anyway relevant in 5/10/15 years time .

Currid will be a huge loss, she has been a hugely influential member of the team.

Listening to how all of the players referenced her throughout the last number of years and how much she was involved in their performance coaching.

maybe she knows how important the year ahead for Limerick is... and have no doubt she is aware of her own importance to the setup and maybe to get her back will just require JP to add another zero on the cheque....

She was working with them part time I think. She also works with top athletes on an individual basis.

She has been with 4 All Ireland winning counties and I don't think she normally stays very long.

Don’t think the Munster thing was a big impact. Maybe she feels she can add no more to the players

She is up there with a young family too I believe.

Hard game to get the head around today. Na Piarsaigh looked very poor by their standards but were still ahead going into the various end games. Doon looked good and certainly the more lively but we're obviously not good enough to win.

Sudden death penalties was a fitting way to end a game where both teams looked too scared to take their chances to win the game.
