Limerick’s new green wave

Limerick 0-16

But, much more impressively, they overcame the effects of that potentially damaging defeat in Croke Park last Sunday to such devastating effect that they totally outplayed the provincial champions almost from start to finish.

It was tribute both to the outstanding character of the team and the managerial skills of Liam Kearns and you had to be there to appreciate the magnitude of their achievement.
