Shane Dowling: Passionate fans sent shivers down Limerick spines

Limerick sharpshooter Shane Dowling says the half-time ovation he and his teammates got in their Munster SHC win over Waterford gave them “shivers down the spine”.

The Shannonsiders had 13 points to spare over last year’s All-Ireland finalists and Dowling said the home support made a difference for Limerick.

Coming off at half-time after the performance we put in for that first half, you could see what hurling means to Limerick people — you get shivers down your spine when you hear the roar and see the crowd. It makes it so much easier for us.
