Best of luck to the team tomorrow they've steadily improved all year and if they continue that they will be no fear of them. Most of the pundits are tipping Galway but if you were to compare the individual players on form this year them we have a lot more players playing to their potential than Galway and I think that could be the difference tomorrow
Limerick to do it

Best of luck to all the lads tomorrow
I believe which ever half back line does best, that team will win.
I sure hope it's Limerick.

I was 19 then, I am 64 now. I can't wait any longer! No history, no baggage just do it. Hurling is a love affair, just waiting for the next episode. Good luck all x

There have been many tortuous days and years following Limerick hurling teams e.g. the qualifiers of 2003 v Offaly in Thurles and 2006 v Clare in Ennis (where a friend and I were sympathised with by Clare supporters! ), the strike of 2010, the eight years in the gulag of 1B, and of course, the two traumatic All-Ireland Final defeats of 1994 and 1996.
The worst day for me, however, will probably always be the 24-point whipping by Tipp in the 2009 All-Ireland semifinal, with Lar Corbett scoring the Premier's sixth goal at the end of the match into an empty Limerick net!
I sat in the Cusack Stand that day and thought that we were finished as a hurling county. Over in the Hogan Stand a man leaving the ground at the end of the ordeal turned around at the top of the steps, pointed to the scene below, and told his wife, "I will make sure something like this never, ever happens again." The next day that man rang Liam Lenihan, chair of Limerick GAA to offer his help in the county's resurrection.
Nine years on from that calamity in Croke Park, John Kiely's promise to his wife that day could lead us to Paradise.
If we win today I will cry like a ba ba, but even if we don't, John Kiely and this team have given us a hurling year from the heavens. I will be forever grateful. What a time to be alive! Luimneach abú!

Great to see it and long overdue, well done and hopefully it gives more inspiration to the likes of ourselves also to push on.

Delighted for ye!!!! Fully deserved glory, now ENJOY THE PARTY!!! I'm sure there will be more from this group (let's hope not too many ;) ). Now, maybe next year we can finally banish the haunting memory of that Ciaran Carey piece of magic in 1996 by knocking ye out ;) Here's hoping anyway :)

Many Congratulations better team on day no doubt victory hard earned and with new format you have to strike when iron is hot as they say, very hard to put back to back titles as Galway now know.

Hope victory will encourage children to play hurling in the City especially ad there are so many other distractions

Amazing how Mulcahy was written of by so many including on here, and now hes in the conversation for hoty after scoring an all Ireland winning point. Who would've seen that coming!

Also delighted the lads got the job done before the likes of McCarthy hickey Condon retire so that they could get their medals for their great service.

First off it was an unforgettable day yesterday. The atmosphere was brilliant in Dublin and in Croke Park. I thought the roof would come off during the parade and after the national anthem.
I think every player and mentor can share the glory that has come their way. It was hard earned.
Graeme's situation really shows the difference between coaches having a preordained system of playing that players must adapt to and finding a way of playing to suit the skills of your players.
I would ignore most of the comments on here writing off this player or that. What do we know?
It is a great sign of a team when different players stand out every day.
Graeme Mulcahy should be a cert for an All Star and would probably be my pick for Most Influential Player for Limerick in the championship. Although the list of contenders is long.
