Croker chokers... Bottlers... Nearly men... Ah, poor aul limerick. The Mayo of hurling F#*kin' 94 all Ireland final....I will never forget the feeling of devastation at the final whistle. 1996,2007... ..2009 semi final. 24point beating. Utter humiliation at the hands of Tipperary. 2013.our neighbours, Clare, God above, that hurt.. but not as much as the following year. We destroyed Wexford in the quarter final and then the 2014 semi final, so close, but again, after utter heroism over 70+minutes in a monsoon at the end. Lost.. Again. To Kilkenny, again, but this time we should, could have won. Even last year, beaten by a poor enough Kilkenny side...typical limerick, going nowhere fast. Getting out of 1b would have been a success this year in my opinion , just a glimpse of something happening. Some move in the right direction. Never ever did I see this coming... I'm still a bit numb, but in a really good way, almost afraid to believe what I saw. Privileged to have been in Croke park, reeling from the fact that we were 8pts up on 70mins and could have lost. So,... Limerick are all ireland champions and thank God I actually saw it happen, not just in my imagination. And yeah, it really matters. Fair play Slayer...great work. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1056 - 21/08/2018 23:59:13 2135498 Link 2 |

It's the bitter words, kicks when you were down and disappointing heartache that makes winning alll the sweeter!! The crap makes winning better. You can't win enough! jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/08/2018 16:36:33 2135654 Link 1 |
Congratulations to Limerick on Sunday's win, ending 45 years of disappointment, including by my own county in 1994. It was great to see all those happy Limerick supporters celebrate a long deserved win on Sunday. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1735 - 23/08/2018 10:37:17 2135848 Link 1 |

Been supporting limerick 35 years - i thought this day would never come, really only sinking in now. Been waking up every day checking its ours. I was nervous all week, was in the hill in 1994, lower davin last sunday, twas 94 revisited, when canning had the free at he end i was looking at the net expecting it to bulge and break our hearts, when condon came out with that ball and whistle blew - it was relief redemption exstacy emotion everthing, cried my eyes out, I cannot express what this means to our county youngmunstersman (Limerick) - Posts: 80 - 27/08/2018 10:11:30 2136748 Link 0 |

It is great to hear stories of ice-cream trucks, a few pints after matches, singing songs, etc. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 29/08/2018 11:04:17 2137339 Link 0 |

why is it mad to think?the club players have sacrificed the whole summer and hardly got a game.that is way madder,and more maddening.
