Munster title always the focus for O’Loughlin

Kilmallock boss Ger O’Loughlin said the Munster Club had been his aim with the Limerick side all year.

“I said to them when I went in there first that I wanted to win a Munster club with this team. I have been ramming that down their throat for most of this season.

“That was our aim. I just felt I had seen this crowd . . . they had lost a bit of spirit. Tony Considine had done tremendous work with them for a couple of years and had won two championships with them but I just felt last year I came in to watch the semi-final as a neutral to watch the semi-final that the spirit was gone out of them.
