Liam Sheedy: Kiely v Ryan: The battle for game plan supremacy

I know what it’s like as a manager when you are struggling in every position and Limerick are drowning you in waves. Everybody is just gasping for air and they are so good sometimes, your ship just goes down

HEAD-TO-HEAD: Limerick manager John Kiely and Cork manager Pat Ryan go head-to-head in the Munster SHC final.

HURLING folk, by and large, are of the view that the season has yet to explode. And that we could do with a right shot of hurling adrenaline into our veins this weekend.

Attendances in Munster have been superb again but several matches have lacked the massive intensity and tight finishes we have become accustomed to.
