O’Connor: Limerick are among the best
“They’re well up there, a serious outfit,” he reflected yesterday after squeaking past Mickey Ned O’Sullivan’s side in Sunday’s Munster final. “But do they just lift it for the Kerrys and Corks, or are they ready now to drive on and make the quarter finals?,” the Dromid man mused.
Limerick will join the qualifier scramble at the final stage at the end of this month, and still find themselves only 70 minutes from an All-Ireland last eight tussle at Croke Park. “They’ll bother a pile of teams along the way,” added Jack O’Connor. “They’re well coached, very fit, defensively sound and they’ve a powerful midfield and forwards. They’ve all the pieces but it’s about putting Sunday behind them now. They deserve to be in a Croke Park quarter-final, and unless they get a horror draw away from home, I’d expect them to make it,” he declared.
