I know they don’t give a **** they didn’t beat limerick. And yet everyone going into next year would love to beat limerick as much as anyone else

i think its too close to call, if we didnt get that 45 against waterford , they would have been through ahead of cork to the latter stages of the championship

limerick will make the adjustments in midfield and the half back line to cope with corks speed next year , tipperary have some really good players in the making but i just doubt the man in charge will get it out of them i could be wrong , we are the ones now with the target on the back , and we need a transition so it could be us very easily that are sacrificed next may

Tipp are in the same position as Cork were last year with a good crop of young players coming through.

Munster will be carnage next year, it will be an achievement to get out of it whatever your colour

Congrats Clare. Hurling the biggest winner of last Sunday

Limerick Cork will be a sell-out.

Clare Limerick will be close to a sell out

Clare V Cork in Ennis will sell out

Clare V Tipp in Ennis will be a sell-out.

Not sure with Waterford depending on the results but Clare v Waterford will be sell out.

It's hard to know how hungry Limerick will be for it next year. They have won 5 in 6 years with practically the same team through that period. There will need to be an infusion of 3 to 4 players with the some of the regular players maybe needing to become squad players which can be more difficult for a manager keeping the spirit of the group intact. Kilkenny came back after doing 4 in a row and won another 4 over 5 years so anything is possible. Back2Back All Ireland's would be a great achievement for Clare given their age profile. Cork should have serious hunger next year and be highly motivated but there is extra pressure now for them. It's hard to see any other county winning Liam next year. Cork, Clare or Limk

The neighbours might give visitation rights 🤣

Agree there will be an extra edge to the will to win.

I think the fact this year was the drive for 5 it'll leave a very sour taste in their mouths. Limerick are a panel of young veterans like the great Kilkenny team after tipp beat them in 2010. If I was to predict I'd guess Limerick will win 3 of the next 5. Now I don't expect Limerick fans to be that cocky but as a neutral that's what I'm going for.

Agree there is definitely more titles in this team age profile is right to drive it on. Sometimes a loss can remind a team how much they want to win. A semi final is a tough spot to lose this will drive them on.

The core of this Limerick team were from the 2015\2017 All Ireland U21 Winning Teams. They are all 28-30 now with alot of mileage on the clock. JKiely did a remarkable job getting 5 All Ireland in 6 years which is unbelievable return. I would be concerned that there is not enough star quality coming through from U17/U20 over the last few years. Apart from Cathal O'Neill no other players have been able to break into the team. The Round Robin won't be any easier next season. Limerick will be still the team that every other team will want to bring down rather than Clare. I think JK will use the round robin to blood more players next season and rotate the players giving them more experience. The likes of Colin Coughlan did not see any championship time and if he had would surely have being introduced in the semi final against Cork. We are light on cover from 2-9 and I think this will be areas that will need to be focused on during the league. There is going to 3/4 injuries to contend with every year.

i dont think there is need for drastic change , i think the likes of cathal o'neill and colin coughlin have been groomed to take over in the half back line , a few tough decisions will have to be made but few changes needed , maybe hegerty and hayes either side of coughlin could be the new half back line

Great news. Hopefully all the players will stay on board. There is certainly a few more All Irelands in this team

doesn’t look like it , too much like work for county board . They also got rid of county program that had all 64 hurling teams for championship weekends in it which was a major step backwards in terms of promotional work . They used the excuse of losing money but it was only small money which is offset by the large takings at the gate those weekends .
