Limerick manager John Brudair admits that they have learned a lot from playing a top flight team in the qualifiers.

The Shannonsiders put in a brave effort against Tyrone in Omagh last Sunday before losing out by ten points and the scoreline does not reflect the closeness of the game.

Brudair was keen to take the positives from a game that his charges were rank outsiders in and he told the Limerick Leader that it was a good game for them to be involved in as they look forward.

"It's been a massive learning curve in terms of tactical awareness so hopefully that will stand to us in good stead," said Brudair.

"We had to stay in the game and that was the priority - to make sure we were in touching distance. To make sure they got edgy coming into the last quarter of an hour - that worked well for 40-50 minutes but then fatigue set in and that's where years of conditioning set in and help you."
