Hannon: Limerick must put two performances together

Upwards may be out of the question for Limerick after missing out on promotion from Division 1B. But onwards is now the target in this league campaign and Declan Hannon has underlined the importance of emulating their win over Dublin in Sunday’s Division 1 semi-final.

TJ Ryan’s men responded well to critics in the county by becoming the first team to beat Dublin in Parnell Park since 2011. But backing it up with another display of high quality is necessary for Limerick’s development, says Hannon.

“We need to pull two performances together, two solid performances, and not just one here and there throughout the year. That’s not good enough if you’re to be competing with the likes of Tipp and Kilkenny. Kilkenny do it day in, day out against any team or whoever they have available to play.”
