Limerick set to make talent count, says Diarmaid Byrnes

Diarmaid Byrnes holds no recollection of Limerick’s U21 three-in-a-row at the turn of the millennium.

Instead of travelling to the games or watching the finals on TG4, Byrnes was more concerned with hopping a sliotar against the gable end above in Patrickswell.

It’s been 13 years now since Peter Lawlor returned the Cross of Cashel trophy to the Treaty County for a third successive September, the 3-17 to 0-8 annihilation of Galway standing as the county’s last All-Ireland triumph at any grade.
