Get him up on the shoulders. Billy O'Brien goal ends the minor hurling final in Nowlan Park. Tipperary beat Kilkenny against all the odds with 2 players down 👏
This excellent intro was for the first ever hurling semi final between Cork & Limerick in 2018. It works just as well now to preview this year's match.
This was the refereeing standard for a Munster final.
The referee treated Limerick like this right through the first half. Huge composure shown by players not to react badly.
Gearoid Hegarty's Liam Gordon experience:
The brand of hurling that Ben O'Connor & Anthony Nash have brought to Cork u20's is fairly tasty.
Cork hurling is in safe hands with this caliber of mentors and players.
Ben Cunningham with a pick up under pressure:
This man in the crowd at the league final sums up what it feels like to be a Limerick Hurling Supporter at the moment.
( I hope he doesn't mind being turned into a gif! )
Diving & simulation in hurling has to be sorted.
Game bans should be given for this behavior imo.
Until then the shame clips will continue.
This is not the national sport I'm proud of.
Where is the honor or integrity?

The Limerick hurlers seem to enjoy dissecting the game honestly and constructively. Pat Ryan recently was excellent and Séamus Flanagan very refreshing here last night.
More lads trying to buy red cards with simulation in hurling this weekend.
The sniping will continue.
Players trying to get people sent off this week :
Tony Kelly, Cathal Barrett & Dan McCormack.
A guard of honour for Micheal O'Muircheartaigh will be in Adare village today at 3pm when his funeral cortege passes through. Organized by Limerick clubs, members have been asked to consider wearing their club colours to show their respects.
Do not take life too seriously.
You will never get out of it alive.

A huge night for Cork and they owe a lot to this man. Darragh Fitzgibbon reminded everyone what he could do tonight. Best match of the Munster Championship so far.
Anthony Daly is moving his Hurling Podcast behind an Irish Examiner Subscription Paywall.
One weekly pod for 8-10 euros per month.
I have enjoyed this pod but sadly I think that move is a bad idea.
JP McManus gives 1 million donation to each county board. Just to put it in perspective, that's more than Tipperary GAA's entire commercial earnings for last year. The GAA owes JP a big big thank you.
Young hurler of the Year announced, not even a nomination for Cathal O'Neill😵💫
Does anyone have a list of the journalists involved in these selections?
Peter Casey's magical streak of points for Limerick today was similar to the level of hurling he was playing in the 2021 final before getting injured.
Deserved man of the match.
Limerick Vs Cork falls somewhere in the top 10 best hurling matches I've attended ('90-23)
I haven't had time to fully watch it back yet!
The news of Tipp & Wat spreading like wildfire through the crowd, the weather, the closeness/quality of the game & 40k in the house 🔥 10/10
Aaron Gillane finishes a slick sequence with a powerful goal:
A great game this evening between Patrickswell & Ballybrown. ( Limerick Senior Hurling by

While the presentation of the Mick Mackey Cup was going ahead at the other side of the field, these lads, Kyle, Tom, Barry and Cathal left the celebrations to join the injured Peter Casey. A team of friends.

Cork raised the bar even higher👏. We used one to drown our sorrows. Munster hurling championship now comes with extra spice. The great Limerick team of the 20's have a new challenger. Current mood:
After Limerick beat them in 2020, a Tipperary hurling pod sarcastically named their episode "Limerick starting their 5-in-a-row".
Tom Ryan & Ciarán Carey know a lot more about hurling than they do it seems 🤣. Here's a snippet:
The old goat makes it look easy. One of my favourite goals this year by Patrick Horgan. Celtic cross or not, a legend of the game. Cork v Clare all Ireland final 2 hours to go! 🎉
Dj Carey turns up at court decked out with Carlow IT GAA gear. Who does that considering the charges he's facing?
He'd want a composite hurley wore off him
Some hurling pundits were using a lack of ball given to Aaron Gillane in the semi final to criticize the modern game.
Limerick set up a training session for Aaron in the final.
17 deliveries in total. Co-incidence? 😏
After his comments about Limerick training in Rathkeale last week I hope that little weasel from the PremierViewPod is choking on this in the stands 🤣👇
Limerick GAA are to build a large centre of excellence. Big news for the west of Limerick & Patrickwell 💪
Looking forward to seeing the designs proposed.
John Kiely has my respect for vouching for Kyle Hayes. Most would take the easy route & cut them loose. A school principle helps many young lads not repeat their mistakes. Be positive & turn it around, if you want irrational negativity browse the comments on these articles 🤷♂️
Limerick hurling manager John Kiely has defended his decision to provide a character witness to Kyle Hayes, saying his presence at Limerick Circuit Court was a show of support rather than a signal he condoned his actions
Following the obvious bias the match officials showed in the Limerick Clare Munster final I sat down today to revisit the match. I didn't even get one minute in.
The standard of refereeing Liam Gordon and Paud O'Dwyer provided for a Munster Hurling Final:
