As hard as it is to see someone other than Limerick winning the All-Ireland this year, it’s worth remembering the last year someone else did.
In 2019, Tipperary came out of the championship traps like a bullet. They went down to Páirc Uí Chaoimh and dismissed Cork in much the same manner that Limerick did there last Sunday week. Then they trounced Waterford by 18 points and Clare by 13 – in Ennis. Everyone between them and the steps of the Hogan Stand were, or at least appeared as if they’d be, mere roadkill.
