Éamonn Cregan urges Limerick to take direct route

Éamonn Cregan knows Limerick will in time reaps the benefits of a “long-term programme” but fancies they will pose Kilkenny problems tomorrow if they play more direct.

The 1973 All-Ireland winner doesn’t want to see any hesitation in Limerick sending the ball into their attack.

“If they played more direct, I would be happy. I would hate to be a corner-forward at the moment because the ball doesn’t come in fast enough. If Kilkenny can be exposed, it’s when the ball is moved fast. But if Limerick play this short passing game we’re not going to get the ball up to the forwards quick enough and if you don’t do that then you’re not going to score enough.
