Limerick kept cool when the heat was on

Forgive us for being obvious about yesterday, and Limerick versus Tipperary, but any remarks about the game must be prefaced with one consideration.

The heat.

They used to say that Sugar Ray Robinson would have added the world light-heavyweight title to his haul but for one broiling night in Madison Square Garden, when the referee passed out from the heat in the 14th round as Robinson challenged Joey Maxim for the title.
