Brian Lohan’s team laid down a marker against the champions and with the bit between their teeth, won’t ease up

Maybe it wasn’t quite as good a performance as it seemed at the time. Limerick were down to 14 men for most of the second half and may well have been underestimating their opponents anyway.

Darragh Fitzgibbon was granted the freedom of Páirc Uí Chaoimh and let loose whereas seven days ago we didn’t see much of him against Tipperary. Waterford were against the wind but it was hardly strong enough to explain the lack of scoring chances created. I think this is a big ask for Waterford even though they will probably have Austin Gleeson back, as he is named to start. They’re not firing the enthusiasm of the supporters and have to get something from an in-form Clare.Since the change of goalkeeper after the Tipperary match and the return of David Fitzgerald, Brian Lohan’s men are for me the most impressive team in the Munster championship to date.
