Its all over now but the Lunacy of Penalties for a hurling match not fair on players/managers/fans borrowed from the World Cup.
I wish high profile Managers and County Officials made more noise about thinks can change remember the Skorts issue has to be changed at Congress except the players reacted reasonably and then did they not convene a special congress? anyway changes happened

Hard to see anything but a good win for Limerick"
They were able to change the penalties in Hurling from 3 on 1 to 1 on 1 fairly quick enough when it suited them before
Replying To Mads: "I get the point about starting our first 15, however at the same time, if there is another extra time later on in the championship or someone goes down early through injury the lads coming in need to be sharp. I think I definitely would start Barry murphy for proper croke Park experience. DOD I feel is improving all the time and a full game could be the makings of him. Playing him alongside Adam English and giving WOD a rest wouldn't do much harm to anyone and finally CON instead of TOM. Not saying any of these would necessarily start against the Cats but at least they would have benefitted from that starting game particularly in croke Park. Unfortunately I was never in a position to make the quarter due to other commitments, however, I think it has worked out as a great way to get valuable experience for the young lads and sharpness into the other lads. We were always a bit sluggish starting in our other semis, that shouldn't be the case against the cats which is vital. I Don't think the game against the Dubs will be too easy, any win by a few points will do just to get the last result out of the system."
" I think it has worked out as a great way to...", unless of course, Dublin win.
Full strength team for Saturday. No sign of the bull so hopefully it is just a small knock he is carrying. Glad to see O'Connor get another run out, just did nt click for him the last night but he did do a lot of things right.
Hopefully we can fly out of the blocks and then empty to bench to get minutes into the subs who will be key if we are to go all the way.
Thought there might have been a change or 2..o brien must be injured,not in 26..delighted o Connor getting another her chance,did a lot right the last day and scored1-1..roll on now Saturday..

Later on in the championship? How about solely concentrating on the game at hand? I very much doubt that Dublin, Galway or Tipp are thinking about games later on in the championship.
The team picked says all you need to know about Limerick's mentality. Go full on, or go home. There will be no next game if we don't take care of this game first. If we are not able to beat Dublin first, then we have no business thinking we can beat Kilkenny
