[N Quaid;]

Limerick are just miles above everyone really. It is going to get boring.

Even the new boys coming in are far better than most of the best of the rest.

Maybe, but Clare flatter to deceive greatly. Definitely behind Cork and Kilkenny in the pecking order and Wexford could stretch them in their next outing also. Never got the hype about them too much, a good number of ordinary players on the team, starting with no. 1.

I wouldn't say they are ordinary, they are playing against one of the all time great teams and are quite probably their toughest opponents over the past number of years, not so much today I grant you.

Limerick team that won Munster in 2019. (1st of their six in a row)

C Lynch, W O'Donoghue
G Hegarty, K Hayes, T Morrissey;

Subs brought on S Dowling, D O'Donovan, S Flanagan, B Nash, D Reidy


Team that started today

Nickie Quaid;
Mike Casey, Dan Morrissey, Barry Nash;
Diarmaid Byrnes, Declan Hannon, Kyle Hayes;
Will O'Donoghue, Cathal O'Neill;
Gearóid Hegarty, David Reidy, Tom Morrissey;
Aaron Gillane, Shane O'Brien, Cian Lynch.

That's incredible consistency. Only Dowling and I think English no longer involved.

English still on panel. Had a couple bad injuries over the years.

The hurling has become very predictable. Kilkenny won 5th Leinster in a row and Limerick on course for 6 in a row in Munster.

Limerick should win easy enough today. Will be another Limerick Kilkenny AI final unless Cork come up with something in semi final.

Kerry backs/midfielders contributing 7 points.

Roscommon have every chance of beating Mayo. Dublin and Cavan likely to be a very ugly score for us. Too many injuries to important players for Cavan and no depth in the squad.

Roscommon haven't a hope today. Only won 2/14 championship/league games since victory against Mayo last year. Burke backroom team not as strong as last year with Mark McHugh and Gerry McGowan gone. Burke probably be gone in a few weeks?

Rossies won't want to get beaten three times in one season.

Rossies haven't beaten Mayo in championship game in Hyde Park since 2001.

P45 for Davy.

Did O'Rourke call up any of the u20s? That wing back Armstrong is excellent.

just ohalloran. But he was already involved should have called up the lads who can actually kick a free from beyond the 20 line. Should this go badly Colm will be gone at years end. It's been a very difficult couple of years even though he has some of the best players available to him over last 10 years.

I see Tyrone called up 5 players from their u20 team.

Me nerves

Enjoy the celebrations lad. Nice speech by Longford captain.

It's great, isn't it?

Gerry Seavers from Dublin involved in Longford backroom team. Is he in Paddy Christie senior set up?

Thought the Longford subs made a big difference in the game.

Cian O'Donnell had a big impact when re-introduced kicking two big points.

Well done to Longford. By far the better team.

Kerry a lucky team to make the final. Made a very good Tyrone team look even better.

Meath kicked the semi final away.

Aaron Connolly let go by Hull. What is the story with that lad.

Attitude is not the best. Thought he was doing well with Hull. Think he picked a couple injuries as hadn't featured much lately.
