Will Limerick be singing in September?

We can talk about the history in a bit, and before long we’ll get to Donal O’Grady, the Limerick captain, and his groundbreaking rendition of Limerick You’re A Lady, not to mention the best final-whistle pitch-invasion we’ve seen in many years.

First, though, the sending-off.

Cork forward Patrick Horgan’s dismissal before half-time in yesterday’s Munster final was the game’s major talking-point. It wasn’t a competition that’ll jostle for a place in the pantheon, though Limerick will hardly complain about the manner in which they annexed their first provincial title since 1996.
