Chorus:
Limerick you're a lady
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

As children you and I spent endless days of fun
In winter's snow or summer's golden sun
We fished in silver streams, the fabric of my dreams
Was fashioned by your loveliness and so I have to say.

Chorus:
Limerick you're a lady
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

The difference time has made, for travellers on their way
Seeking out the beauty of my land
At shrines the children play, and bells ring out to say
Thank God we're living just to feel the freedom of each day.

Chorus:
Limerick you're a lady
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
The one true love that I have ever known.

The one true love that I have ever known...

Another handy All Ireland for Kilkenny...

Poor match, was hoping Limerick would win.  Knew that wouldnt happen though.  Even with the ref so against Kilkenny they still won easily.

Great scenes there, with McGarry and the son.  Great to see them up there, its been such a hard time for them.  Congrats to Kilkenny and all involved with the team.

panned out as expected. Limerick just way out of their depth-finally putting the 'quality' of the munster hurling championship this season debate to bed this year. Even without shefflin and hickey they couldn't get close. Everything was setup for them- kk were below par -the ref was a disgrace- two best players went off injured- just hadn't the hurlers. Thought tactically they just seemed to have one tactic and never used their best forward or made any attempt to get him into the game. A lot of aimless high ball directed harmlessly wide.
This is the best hurling team of all time- and the frightening prospect is that there is still more to come. Have to be honest how did Kirwan get to ref at this level. Thought he was awful.

Thought the ref was a disgrace, have never seen a so blatantly biased refereeing performance in an AI. If I were a Kilkenny man I'd be livid. Little else to say about a final that was poor and the result was never in doubt.

I thought the same, it was as obvious as it could be.  If Limerick somhow came back and ended up winning by a point I wouldnt blame Cody if her lost it with the ref.

[Galwaybhoy]

Cant comment on the ref as I lost interest in the game after 10 minutes. Ended up ;istening to the second half on the radio and Micháel O'Muircheartaigh isnt one to criticise the officals. The game was a foregone conclusion and Kilkenny played well within themselves, but can anyone challenge them next year? Can Cork come back?

Waterford and Cork are the closest to Kilkenny and are the two teams that can stop Kilkenny, and maybe Galway as well if everything is in order.

[darbyo]

Reckon Cork are the only realistic contenders.

[Bogball XV]

very poor game - but then the last 5/6 finals have been - pity waterford hadn't made it to the final, i reckon they'd have taken that kilkenny team (if sheff had still only lasted half the game).
When you look at it Galway pushed Kilkenny the hardest in championship this year, maybe Loughnane is getting something right there.  With the U21's and Canning in the squad next year, they might be closest?
Hope Sheff isn't too badly hurt.
Man of the match?  Tyrell, Brennan?

i've been saying that for 3 years now. cody has some bunch there, the one highlight for me was for shefflin to get the liam mccarthy, hes up there with the best ever..

[Farrandeelin]

I have to agree that the final let down one of the most exciting hurling seasons in years. Waterford probably would have taken the cats but it wasn't about them today. Referee was terribly biased to Limerick. Comhghairdeas Cill Chainnigh.
As for motm, I'd nearly give it to Tommy Walshe.
