Patrick Horgan: Nobody but Limerick can hit that level without two of the game's greats

Limerick overwhelmed Clare in Ennis without Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane. People don't appreciate the size of that feat.

I thought Limerick were still favourites on Sunday, despite losing to Cork and having to go to Ennis without Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane.

I still expected Clare to put up a good fight and to be in touch coming down the stretch at least, but Limerick dominated them from start to finish.
