On the day of the National League hurling final in early April, and the day afterwards, the mood in our pub was a mixture of cheerfulness and sombreness.

The Clare footballers had beaten Cork, while the Limerick hurlers had hammered Kilkenny. Most people in the pub have nothing only admiration for the Limerick hurlers but it was what they had done, how they’d done it, and what Limerick were threatening to do which was fusing the black with the light.
