Well, Limerick, spare a thought for fallen Dubs

Take the worthwhile survivors, perhaps eight or so, from last year’s hammering by Tipperary. Add half a dozen or so of those who acquitted themselves well yesterday.

Blend with a manager blessed with a low-key, rift-healing personality in the style of a Denis Walsh or a Conor Counihan. Season with a county board sufficiently cute and selfless to patch up rows, by hook or by crook, rather than allowing divisions to fester to the point where they show up raw in the blaring heat of Páirc Uí Chaoimh on championship Sunday.
