Treaty men have learnt value of the bench press
This game yesterday brought back memories of 1996 for me, another scorcher, another epic display but on that occasion it was against Clare, the then reigning Munster and All-Ireland champions.
Remember that Ciarán Carey point? Was there ever a better winning score? I said on Saturday that if the attitude of the three guys I meet so regularly as manager of Kilmallock — Paudie O’Brien, Gavin O’Mahony and Graeme Mulcahy — was typical of everyone else on the Limerick panel, then Limerick had a real chance yesterday. Now we know the answer.
