Limerick considering following Kilkenny’s example

LEARNING from your own mistakes is a sure — if often slow and painful — way of progressing in life; learning from the mistakes of others, learning from the experience of others, is smarter, surer, faster.

Combining the two, however — now that’s how you really fast-forward going forward!

Over the past three decades, I don’t think anyone would deny that Limerick hurling has made a lot of serious mistakes. No senior All-Ireland hurling title since 1973, when every other serious hurling county bar Waterford has at least one; no Munster senior title since 1996, when every other serious hurling county in that province — including Waterford — has at least two. Oh yes, my friends, whatever Limerick has been doing in that time, it hasn’t worked.
