Limerick and Tipperary’s trilogy an inspiration

Cian Lynch was an 11-year-old whippersnapper at the time but the impression lasts. 

For most Limerick kids in their formative years, that Munster semi-final trilogy against Tipperary in 2007 resonates, but for a host of reasons it was even more poignant for Lynch.

On the sideline on those three occasions were local Patrickswell icons Richie Bennis and Gary Kirby. But in his home there was his blue and gold-clad father, Loughmore-Castleiney man Sean, on one side of the table and the rest of the family on the other.
