Donal O'Grady: Limerick’s first aim should be ‘hammering the hammer’

Tipperary are serious All-Ireland contenders in many people’s eyes and are hot favourites for tomorrow’s Munster semi-final against Limerick.

They are at home after an impressive first-round performance. Their fans are gaining in confidence and beginning to dream again of September success.

If you were the Limerick boss, you couldn’t have scripted a better approach — there are no expectations within the county and therefore no pressure on the players.
