Limerick victory was opportune
Limerick hurling had been in the news for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks, and with the senior championship between the same counties just 10 days away, there were fears on Shannonside that Tipperary would have it all their own way in Thurles.
The minor victory has changed all that and there is an air of optimism that better times are just around the corner. Those close to the minor team were not surprised at the victory or the manner in which it was achieved.
