That's the inter county championship done for this year. Congrats Limerick.
Before next year is there anything that can be done about the thrown "hand pass"? It's an infliction on the game. Ban hand pass entirely?

Replying To galwayford:  "Don't worry Galway will beat this Limerick team. We can and will do it. We got sucker punched by KK in the Leinster final. Lost by a point. And were in command against Limerick. Where is the sideline cut skills gone. Really poor stuff from both teams. Anyway well done Limerick. Enjoy the win. It was difficult for you in the city for years. But you kept going and now are top dogs."
We couldn't even beat a bang average Kilkenny or Dublin, but you are correct We will win the All Ireland.

Replying To sam1884:  "Limerick were a joy to watch during that second half. In terms of style they're the best team I've seen and if they can complete the 5 there will be no debate on the best hurling team of all time.

All successful counties have finance so it isn't an issue. However does every team have the background team and ability to carry a 37 player panel that Limerick have? The winning speech left me speechless at the quality and depth of Limerick's squad and background team. It must be running up some bill to cover it all."
Limerick cannot take sideline cuts. Their skill levels are not good at this. They are a physical team. Galway in the 00's were more skillful imho. And also KK and Tipp.

Replying To endgame:  "That Kilkenny team are getting to All Ireland finals because they're playing in Leinster and have played Clare in the last two semi finals. When Kilkenny ran out of steam, Limerick took over and there was only one team in it. The intensity of the Munster championship and the risk of injuries from that are the biggest threat to the five in a row."
Tipperary would have beaten Kilkenny in the All Ireland Quarter Final but Kilkennys saving grace was the lucky Leinster Final win.

Replying To LohansRedHelmet:  "The narrative will be all about Limerick and rightly so they are worthy champions. But that was a shocker of a second half from KK, conceding 21 points in fairly rough conditions in one half."
I just think Limerick hit another gear when they hit Croke Park.

Kilkenny badly need a strength and conditioning coach who can improve their fitness.

A rather nasty comment from a certain pundit about "sugardaddy" and "sugarbabies."

As a Dub, I can only sympathise. Begrudgers will begrudge. JP ought to be congratulated for investing so much of his money into all aspects of Irish sport, and into many other worth while projects. I'd say its money that is put to better use than if it ended up in the hands of those who spend our tax.

Brilliant display from an awesome team. Kilkenny looked bereft of ideas in the second half. Can't ever recall the stripey men fold like that.

They've done alright for a team who can't hit sidelines

They have been lucky in Leinster finals 4 years in a row now......

I'd say every one of the top 9 counties will win another AI

There's no team in Ireland would have lived with Limericks 2nd half performance. That's it for this year. Up to Limerick to bring that again next year and up to every other county to try and beat them.
