Limerick confident as Buckley on the beat for Banner test

THE prevailing view about the weekend’s Munster championship semi-finals is that the Fitzgerald Stadium clash of Kerry and Cork will decide the destination of the title.

But Limerick captain Sean Buckley is adamant that the winners of their meeting with Clare – in the other semi – will enter the provincial decider with “good confidence and good belief in themselves”.

Buckley is one of three players in the Limerick panel from county champions Drom-Broadford, who shocked Nemo Rangers in last season’s provincial club championship and went on to win the title. He is a Garda, based in Ennistymon and, understandably, the subject of some good-natured banter this week.
