Hannon turns focus toward taming Tribe
After the giddy chaos that erupted when Limerick’s extra-time victory was sealed in an epic provincial U21 hurling decider, Hannon found himself engulfed by kids eager for his signature on their jerseys and adults eager to slap him on the back. That was the level of acclaim for the Adare youngster who grabbed the decisive goal in extra-time. And he savoured every moment of it.
“It was an incredible night. You could see that with all the people staying out on the pitch afterwards, wanting to stay celebrating. People talk about how great Munster rugby supporters are but I think Limerick GAA supporters would give them a serious run for their money. I remember being over the far side of the field near the finish, and seeing our substitutes bouncing up and down. There was a real buzz amongst the supporters. You could sense something special was going to happen.”
