Na Piarsaigh manager Shane O'Neill was thrilled with his side's performance as they defeated Na Piarsaigh by five points to claim a fourth Limerick SHC title in seven years yesterday.

"The overall performance was absolutely outstanding," he enthused in the Limerick Leader.

"I am delighted - performance-wise from the word go I thought we were really, really good. We worked on a lot of things differently from other years and I thought our structure and performance from 1-15 and the four guys who came on were outstanding.

"I can't say a bad word about anyone - a county final and we are absolutely thrilled. It seems to be every second year at this stage but we will take that.

O'Neill admitted that he hadn't given any thought to Na Piarsaigh's Munster club SHC semi-final against Blackrock of Cork on November 5.

"We haven't really looked at because you can't take county final for granted and we were playing Kilmallock," he added.
