Kyle Hayes: League no longer top of Limerick’s agenda
His logic was reasonable. There were larger gate receipts among the top flight, for one. Then there was the attractive competitive nature among the top six.
Since then, though, much has changed. After Waterford in 2015, Clare and Galway have claimed league honours from the second tier, Galway even succeeding in replicating that success in the All-Ireland SHC. Division 1B is no longer regarded as the group of the also-rans but an opportunity to build up a head of steam for the league knockout stages and beyond.
