"We're doing a lot right but we need that extra few per cent to get over the line"

Limerick aren't that far away from a first Liam McCarthy success since 1973, according to Declan Hannon.
Winning the Munster title in 2013 and running Kilkenny close in this year's All-Ireland semi-final has raised expectations in the Treaty County and sharpshooter Hannon - who scored five points against the Cats - says they have to find a little extra in 2015.
"We're doing a lot right but we need that extra few per cent to get over the line. The challenge is to find it and make it count. We know it's there," he said to The Irish Independent.
"We didn't win anything but good progress was made. We got back up on the horse after losing to Cork in the Munster final, played very well for most of the way against Wexford and while we came up short against Kilkenny, we could take a lot out of it.
"Kilkenny's experience is hugely important in those type of tight games. It was tough to take but we'll come on from it. We have to if we hope to win an All-Ireland."
