Limerick lions deserve better backing

THE Limerick hurling fans who opted to go to Kilkee, Ballybunion and such places yesterday made a poor decision; the place to be was Costa del Semple where their team put up a heroic challenge against hot favourites Tipperary.

And who knows, those absent supporters might even had made a difference in those final crucial minutes, might have given energy to tiring legs.

No disrespect to those who did turn up, but this was as poorly supported a Limerick team as I’ve ever seen. A pity, because these players deserve support — it’s time for the supporters to get positive about their team. By God did they give it their all!
