Limerick ‘throw it away’

Dublin 1-16 Limerick 1-15

For the third year running Limerick were denied promotion to the upper echelon of the competition in heartbreaking fashion and the pain of this defeat will linger for a long time yet if O’Brien’s attitude is a marker.

The key now is to channel that raw hurt as John Allen’s men prepare for a championship date with Tipperary in early June.
