From here to eternity for Limerick

Limerick 4-21 Clare 0-33 (Limerick win 7-6 on frees AET)

In between, we had approximately 115 minutes of action (including injury-time), two periods of extra-time, 58 scores and 14 frees during a dead-ball competition which was the first of its kind in a hurling league fixture.

Before we sink our teeth into what was a truly absorbing and seemingly never-ending quarter-final, the reader should know that a fair amount of what materialised inside the whitewash yesterday isn’t documented here.
