O’Grady: We must control hype, but seize the moment

Mistakes heeded, lessons learned, the hype suitably controlled — Limerick’s latest semi-final opportunity will not be squandered, vows Donal O’Grady.

The Treaty captain isn’t forecasting a Limerick victory on Sunday, such an assertion he wouldn’t dream of making when the opposition’s stripes are of black and amber. No, the centre-forward is simply promising a performance from the men in green. The stage fright encountered in 2013 has long been flushed from the system.

Midfield during the county’s run to the 2007 All-Ireland final, O’Grady couldn’t have envisaged that seven years on Limerick would still be waiting for a return to the showpiece event.
