Kirby lauds Limerick’s ‘magnificent character’

LIMERICK selector Gary Kirby was understandably pleased with his side’s epic win over Tipperary on Sunday — and the character displayed by the players in particular.

“I said all along, and now the supporters have learned — that these players want to do it for the county,” said Kirby.

“There had been question marks over them — and rightly so — but these boys have put in so much for the last six months. All they wanted to do was to win this match.
