John Kiely is happy with the momentum Limerick have built up in 2018, propelling them to within 70 minutes of long-overdue All-Ireland SHC glory.

The Treaty County have been on a roll all year, continually taking small steps forward, and they'll capture the Liam MacCarthy Cup for the first time in 45 years on Sunday if they can see off holders Galway at Croke Park:

"It's all about getting that momentum, getting on a run, getting that confidence within yourself, within the team. That hasn't changed. You're still looking for that bit of momentum, and that push," their manager told gaa.ie

"I suppose we gathered a bit of momentum going through the various competitions, the boys grew in confidence and belief in themselves. I think getting out of 1B was an achievement for the lads. Coming out of Munster was an achievement for the lads. We just felt then that we wanted to have a real cut off the All-Ireland series, and see where it would take us.

"We've incrementally improved throughout the whole season which was a real positive as well, and something I'm very proud of."
