Limerick’s learning curve

“Ancora imparo,” quoted Limerick wing-back Gavin O’Mahony this week.

Words of true wisdom written by an aged Michelangelo, translated from the Italian as ‘Yet I am learning.’

Gavin is still only 25 but he’s one of the more experienced players on the Limerick team which faces Kilkenny. Doesn’t matter, says Gavin, whether it’s veterans Brian Gavin and Donal ‘Dodge’ O’Grady or teenagers Shane Dowling and Declan Hannon.
