It's been said numerous times already in this thread, but I want to repeat the same. A huge congrats to Limerick on very well earned and well deserved All-Ireland.
The emotion and relief in their fans at the final whistle was something else. It's fantastic for the people of Limerick city and county but also great hurling.
Disappointment on our side for sure, but we didn't deserve it on the day. The lads are a great representatives of our county and will be back.
A great year in terms of excitement topped off by the most deserving winner.
Looking at next year, we have 7 teams at least who can genuinely believe they can win the All-Ireland, which is a fine place to be.

Delighted that Limerick got over the line. My heart was ready to break for them when Joe Canning was eyeing that last free up. Limerick where the better team yesterday and deserved to lift Liam after a fantastic year of hurling. Let's hope next year brings us more of the same regarding quality of games. A great championship that was truly wide open. Reminded me of the 90s era for hurling.

Huge congratulations to Limerick most of my family are green and white my mum is ecstatic. She was 12 the last time they won in 1973.
From way back you could feel something was different about this team. They were my prediction on a thread here to win the AI and I even mentioned it to a few of my Limerick work colleagues who have failed to turn up to work this morning and why not. Only about 100 cars in the car park of where there are normally a few hundred.
The few that have turned up are looking worse for wear but you know what go and enjoy it while it lasts. These days dont come around too often. Well maybe with Limerick team they are a few more AI's in the bag.
its no surprise to some of us who know the Limerick hurling scene at Schools , Universities and County Championship that these players were some of the best in the country at their level for past few years and I think they are a modest and honest bunch and more importantly they gentlemen judging by their interviews all year with the media. Well spoken and that's a credit to them and their families.
They gave Tipp , Cork , Kilkenny and Galway their respect but once the ball was thrown in they took center stage with no fear and showed awesome skill in every game they played.
Galway in a sense I feel were a bit leggy but Limerick took advantage and controlled the game from start to finish.
Roll on 2019.

Great second half - very nail biting - many congrats to Limerick - when they showed the team before the game and their ages I went wow this team is going to be around for many years. Hard luck to Galway - what a comeback and worthy champions in 2017 - they will no doubt be back. Hurling is in great shape at the minute - what a product!

Congrats to Limerick, great to see a long-running duck being broken.

Hard luck to Galway, beaten by the better team in the end, but showed what they are capable of in the last ten minutes or so. They will be back again, no doubt.

Well done Limerick, I was in nappies in 1996 (in spite of the user name) so can't say I remember the heart break we inflicted on you.
Absolutely thrilled to see another famine end.
