To be young is very heaven for these Limerick hurlers

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven, as Wordsworth mused in reference to the Limerick hurling set-up in the spring of 2019.

How much fun must it be to be a Limerick hurler right now? Barely out of short trousers and already immortal. The average age of their All-Ireland winning starting 15 was just 23 and that’s including wizened old Graeme Mulcahy (28) and decrepit geriatric Nicky Quaid (29).
