High-octane match in Limerick overshadows more pedestrian fixtures in Munster and Leinster
They also found out last week that even outsiders will have a go at them as All-Ireland champions and we found out on Sunday the overall difficulties that Waterford have.
Limerick for me confirmed these concerns but you could argue that this is Clare v Limerick and for the past two years nearly everything between them has ended in a draw. That’s the form they took into Saturday night. After losing to Tipperary, they were right up for this and David Fitzgerald was back. He’s a huge player for them and with his return, others benefited. Tony Kelly was more himself and Shane O’Donnell too.
I also worry about Limerick’s energy and where their scores are coming from. Gearóid Hegarty isn’t starting and Cathal O’Neill is a different type of player and not as prolific. Cian Lynch struggled for scores and Kyle Hayes’s attacking threat has looked subdued this year. Only Séamus Flanagan has been scoring goals.
