Big achievement out of Na Piarsaigh second team winning county intermediate championship. Monaleen winning the Munster Intermediate title as well is a big boost for Limerick hurling also and with all the underage county players Monaleen have it won't be long before their in the mix for senior county titles . The only problem is that rural clubs won't get a look in with the large well run city clubs . OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 672 - 05/12/2022 11:25:18 2449549 Link 1 |

Does anyone have the 2023 Limerick hurling squad? I see that Pat Ryan is back and there are a number of U20's that would be entitled to have the opportunity to play senior hurling. Congratulations to Barry Hennessy for his tremendous service and I'm curious as to who will get the opportunity to backup Nicky? I really, really liked Eoghan McNamara at underage and thought that he would eventually be an excellent senior county keeper. Dealer (Limerick) - Posts: 835 - 14/12/2022 18:53:31 2450439 Link 0 |

Congratulations also to Barry on his retirement. A great servant of Kilmallock and Limerick. I understand Eoin is engaged in a very specialised profession and is working far away from Doon and Limerick.

David McCarthy from Blackrock is a good keeper ...

I agree on McCarthy,played very well at 21 and won an all ireland..I won't be surprised if the younger gillane is called back in,played there for the well and more than likely will be the keeper for Mary I.. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2214 - 15/12/2022 15:20:22 2450498 Link 1 |

Ahane used be a rural club , it's part of the Limerick city sprawl at this stage , it bounds Monaleen and most underage players go to school in Castletroy. Forgetting about the old historic City GAA division draw a semi circle circle south of the city from Kildimo in the west around by Adare , Crecora , Ballyclough , Ballyneety ,Annacotty and on over to Castleconell is the new city GAA footprint and where the majority of players for Limerick hurling particularly underage will hail from .

Big win for Monaleen in All Ireland Intermediate club semi final today defeating Leinster champions Bray . First Limerick team to reach All Ireland Intermediate club final, another sign of the strength of Limerick club hurling - well done to all in Monaleen !!

Serious question for all Limerick Hurling Supporters. Are we taking our eye off the ball in relation to the development of young players. We have just one team in the Harty Cup competition and eight of them are from Clare and if reports are anything to by Cian Scully seems the only Standout Limerick player on that team. Especially, I cannot see how Castletroy College with so many fine clubs nearby with huge Modern Day Role Models in all of them, are performing so poorly. There also seems to be very little coming out of West Limerick, our largest Division.

How many would usually come from West Limerick.. Not usually more football dominated.. No? Only 1 team in Harty isnt fantastic but maybe its just a poor year and theres lot more in the B competition. Castletroy are in B. But the schools very strong at rugby and even though its a big school that could be a factor? KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3504 - 12/01/2023 17:44:30 2452239 Link 0 |

Would Ard Scoil take alot of the best players from other schools catchments? Shane O'Brien playing for them last year jumped out to me.

Castletroy & Hospital & Doon would be the stronger teams in the B but definitely Castletroy can't be far off Harty with many Limerick underage players going there . Ard scoil Ris have nearly too many players with very good hurlers in the subs . Students going there from miles away is weakening other school teams whereas Castletroy only have players from Monaleen & Ahane more or less . In the broader picture Limerick hurling revolves around ten or 12 clubs with a huge amount of clubs only treading water at intermediate & Junior level . The underage results are the same clubs in finals or winning every year . There should be at least 4 if not 5 underage hurling grades not the three grades there presently is . Some clubs haven't won an underage title in decades. Kerry have 6 grades of underage football 1-6 and it gives many clubs an opportunity to win something whereas in Limerick hurling there's only 3 grades , the top grade will be won by Na piarsaigh, Mungret or monaleen and the third division will be won by clubs that shouldn't be down that low every year so there's very little left for all the other clubs to keep interest alive and carry into an adult team . It seems county board officials are only interested in the top 10/12 clubs . OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 672 - 13/01/2023 08:53:40 2452269 Link 0 |

West Limerick has never been as dominated by football as some people make out. All 'lowland' West Limerick was hurling country up until about thirty years ago. It is only in later years that clubs like Adare, NCW and Drum Broadford have gone heavily to football. remember there are All Ireland Senior Hurling medals won by men from Tournafulla- a hill parish-, Killeedy, Broadford, Feohanagh, Monagay, Knockaderry, Granagh, Feenagh, Kilfinny and Adare and men from Ardagh, Coolcappagh, Drum, Ballingarry and Kilmeedy etc have all all shone out in the Green and White.
