A fourth Munster senior hurling title in a row for Limerick after classic clash with Clare
A HURLING GAME of stunning emotions culminated with dominant Limerick on top again in Munster and Clare left drained after producing a ferocious challenge that saw them push the champions to the wire.The success is a milestone for Limerick hurling, they collected a fourth Munster title on the spin, the first time since 1936 the county has achieved that.
That was until a swarm of Clare players forced Barry Nash out over the sideline and from an angle that looked too narrow to convert, Tony Kelly still nailed his shot, the Ballyea maestro’s 11th point of the game proving the most valuable. The tone was set early on for a first half packed with fierce challenges and bruising hits. It was fast and furious stuff, in keeping with the recent draw in Ennis as Clare again thundered into Limerick, intent on asking questions of the champions.
