Ollie Moran sounds words of caution for Limerick

The hurling world is taking Limerick seriously in terms of being contenders in this year’s championship, but Ollie Moran is sounding a note of caution.

The former Limerick star agrees his county is ahead of expectations but points out all teams encounter setbacks and “speed bumps” they must deal with: “You can only go on form, and they beat Tipp by six points. Limerick performed exceptionally well that day, and they also performed well last Saturday (against Cork).

“I think you’re right, they’re ahead of expectations. In Limerick the expectation was that they’d be there or thereabouts — but also that they might be a year or two away from being contenders.
