Kk must surely drop off - what age is tj now? Colin fennelly retiring also a blow.
Tipp will be interesting. I think they may be coming close to hitting a transitional period (though maybe are just shy of it )Surely the likes of callinan and Pauline Maher can’t go on forever?
Galway are a lottery.

Tipp need a rebuild. They got as much as they could out of that team. Last year their best lasted 35 minutes.

We have 2 u21/20 all ireland winning squads that are now 22/23/24
With hindsight changes should have been made at half time in the Munster final with us 10 points up
But hindsight is cheap now
Limerick got the breaks with one if not 2 red cards missed
But tipp showed the way last year for 37 mins as to how to take Limerick on
Let’s see how they got on this year in a compact attritional round robin Munster championship,they struggled in 19 after winning the all ireland the previous year with this format.They had a much clearer run in 20 and 21 when it wasn’t played.
They have Cork away round 1
Waterford at home round 2
Clare in Ennis round 3 which could be a very tricky one for them
Tipperary at home round 4
4 games in the space of 5 weeks
Squad depth is also an issue with them,it will be interesting to see if Adam English and a few more more force their way in

WRT the Munster final, Tipp did indeed bypass the middle third, went long, by passing the Limerick halfback line with Seamy Callinan flicking the ball down to the runners coming through and enjoyed a lot of scores off that process UNTIL Dan Morrisey was brought into the fray at the expense of Richie English. That turned the game round for Limerick and from then on they turned the screw in a serious way that Tipp couldn't cope with.
Yes, Guillane should have got a red for slapping Barrett, it was a red every day of the week, except in a Munster final it seems. I still think Limerick would have went on for the win but we'll never know.
Squad wise with the condensed championship we have now I'd say Limerick are better placed than most to cope with a few injuries along the way. They've a very settled 20 or so lads will plenty of championship experience and whilst they got beat by Cork in last years U20's they were nip and tuck the whole way so they've more to come and I think some were blooded the weekend past vrs Kerry with Clare to come.
They're better placed than most to deal with a tight schedule but obviously everyone will be hoping key personnel avoid anything serious.
