Congrats to Limerick, they did it the hard way beating Tipp, Clare, Cork, Galway and Kilkenny. Cork and Galway pushed them the hardest but they were step above everyone this year just like Waterford last year. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 09/09/2017 16:36:13 2044418 Link 0 |
They certainly did do it the hard way, beating 5 strong hurling counties including the traditional big 3 - has any team ever had such a tough route to a hurling all-Ireland? Congrats and hope they can push on at senior level in the next few years.

This will mean an awful lot to Limerick.. The hard work to get to the final and then fairly comprehensively beat a good Kilkenny side will give us a lot of confidence.... No one knows more than us that u21 doesn't mean senior success but the future looks a lot brighter than it did a couple of months ago. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1062 - 09/09/2017 19:37:25 2044450 Link 0 |

...and with the Limerick team(s) from 2000 to 2002, and with the Clare team(s) from 2012 to 2014. It's a cautionary tale.

It's better to win them than lose them. Winning breeds winning. Kilkenny will be sore after that one. They weren't let out of third gear and physically they struggled. I'm sure if they got a sniff of a goal then they would have mounted some charge but as Donal O Grady always says..kilkenny more than any side need goals. Any way it was a real solid display by the Treatymen and I think there's some good talent in that squad. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 09/09/2017 21:39:36 2044492 Link 0 |
Well Clare won a senior All Ireland, and as far as the 2000-2002 wins were concerned Limerick struggled big time right through those three years in Munster. The win was also tempered by the fact that LK won the U21 Munster football title in Munster in 2000, with several dual layers aboard and many of them became dual stars at senior level, which was no help in the long run. By contrast there are no footballers, at least at county level, except Fanning on this team. It should be also noted that the three in a row team was built on the same four or five players like Lucey, Lawlor, Keane Guiry etc from day one.

Some good hurlers on that team Hermit, I recognise Buckley, O Connor, Conway from their minor team that beat us in a great minor semi final couple of years ago.....unfortunately they won't let Down into the u21 B as they can only 'accommodate' 8 teams!

Says a lot doesn't it! How do to expect to keep hurling Alice in places like Ards with that kind of policy coming from above!

Congratulations to Limerick U21 hurlers on winning the All Ireland title yesterday. They were the better team, and were deserving winners. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1739 - 10/09/2017 13:24:25 2044610 Link 0 |

So disappointed with that Kilkenny performance. Second best in every department. Cody has his work cut out rebuilding the senior team based on that performance. They had looked a genuinely good team against Wexford in the Leinster final (we'll discount the Derry match) but weren't able to cope with Limerick's pace and power at all. As well as that, they gave away so many stupid frees. About 2 or 3 times in the second half, we had somehow clawed the deficit back to 4/5 points, but from the resultant Limerick puck-out committed blatantly obvious, stupid fouls (jersey pull by Leahy, high tackle by Donnelly) and Limerick were able to cancel out the previous Kilkenny point straight away. Drove me mad. I always say if a team's gonna beat you by 10 points at least make them earn the points, don't bloody give them away. Bad day at the office, but congratulations to Limerick, fully deserved. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 10/09/2017 15:11:18 2044628 Link 1 |
Keep the faith, this bunch will deliver for Limerick if John Kiely is given enough time. Limerick vs Galway will be some game in 1b next Spring.

Congrats to Limerick - The result never looked in doubt. I am no hurling expert but Kilkenny looked very poor. I would love to see Limerick win a senior All Ireland in the coming years. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11229 - 11/09/2017 11:56:17 2044883 Link 0 |
Look at this for a potential Limerick senior 15 based on the 2015 and 2017 under 21 teams only: Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 11/09/2017 20:42:24 2045061 Link 0 |
