New summits on Limerick’s horizon

From the Limerick team that lined out at Pearse Stadium, only three — Nicky Quaid, Richie McCarthy, and Paul Browne — have been exposed to top-tier league hurling. That’s a damning indictment of the county’s spring form over the past eight years.

By close of business last Sunday, Limerick were back on Broadway. Their come-from-behind victory on the All-Ireland champions’ home patch meant a first run of five successive victories since 2011.

And we’re going all the way back to 2006 for the last occasion Limerick overcame Galway in a league or championship fixture.
