Limerick show heart to match silken skills
Forced to line out without a number of regulars who opted to concentrate on hurling, O’Sullivan watched in admiration as his side stormed into a seven-point lead by the end of the third quarter. But then he was forced to sweat it out as Roscommon put in a storming last 15 minutes that only just fell short of a comeback.
There was much to admire about Limerick yesterday: Shane Gallagher and Stephen Lavin were magnificent in defence; John Galvin caught some great ball in midfield, while Timmy Carroll, John Murphy and Michael Reidy gave the Roscommon defence a torrid time.
