Sporting famines mean different things to different counties. Two years ago, Limerick were Waterford; starved of Liam MacCarthy success since 1973, and with many false dawns endured, they stumbled over the line against Galway, and the relief poured forth as the Cranberries scored their redemption.
For a sports-mad city and a hurling mad county, 45 years is worthy of the famine label, whatever the discipline.
