Anthony Daly: Cahill adds steel to golden wrists, Limerick feeling the hype?

Opinion is always only opinion but it’s funny how hype, no matter how hard you try and guard against it, can infiltrate even the most tightly guarded camps.

As I set off on my championship trail yesterday morning at 9am, listening to ‘Sunday Miscellany’ on RTÉ Radio 1 was a firm reminder that, while the summer is still not technically here, the feeling of it certainly is.

The biggest difference was that I was pointing the car north and not east or south because I was heading to Roscommon. Of course I’d have preferred to be going to Thurles or Ennis but duty calls when you’re a pundit and we had to cover the Limerick-Waterford game from Dr Hyde Park.
