Gavin O'Mahony is pleased with the level of consistency being displayed by Limerick's hurlers.

Sunday's defeat of Clare was the Treaty County's fourth victory in five provincial championship outings and centre back O'Mahony is enjoying the run:

"I suppose a huge thing that we put emphasis on is consistency," he tells The Irish Examiner. "Even going back through the last 30 years with Limerick, we make a spurt for a year or two, then you wouldn't go back to Croke Park again for four or five. We were kind of adamant that it's not good enough.

"You can't expect to be winning All-Irelands if you're not contesting semi-finals and finals every year. If you're not going to be there every year, you can't just be a flash in a pan, get lucky and win one. You have to keep trying to get back there, keep doing the right things and the result will come.

"I don't know what's different about this team, but look we've a good backroom team around us, they keep us very grounded. Things are very focused. There's no long plan and looking down the road too far. It's just one training at a time. TJ's very good at that.

"You come training, you give it everything, you leave and make sure you're ready for the next training. That's the same with the matches. We haven't put any long-term goals or goal-setting, we just look at the team we're up against next, and try to dismantle them."
