Limerick lost out 3-17 to 1-15 today against Kilkenny in the Division 1 league semi-final.
LIMERICK BOSS JOHN Kiely labelled his team’s performance as ‘embarrassing at times’ as they fell to an eight-point hurling league semi-final loss at the hands of Kilkenny this afternoon.
“They took their chances when they came whereas we were the polar opposite. We were poor on the ball, we were poor in defence, we were poor at the things we’re usually pride ourselves in terms of our intensity and our work rate, use of the ball, efficiency, all of the things we would pride ourselves on, we were poor.
Kiely didn’t feel there was any issues with fatigue that would have contributed to their performance. “”If they were fatigued they’d be fatigued in training. They don’t just get fatigued for matches. Now, I’d have to say, how many times in seven or eight seasons has it not been there? Very rarely. So, do they get a pass on this one?
