Nickie Quaid: We wanted to put right Thurles loss

Limerick goalkeeper Nickie Quaid has taken umbrage with suggestions the Treaty County could have done more to beat Tipperary in the last round of the Munster SHC a fortnight ago, a result they emphatically reversed yesterday.

Limerick’s failure to overcome Tipperary on June 16 saw Clare, despite beating Cork the same afternoon, eliminated from the championship. All-Ireland-winning Clare captain Anthony Daly wrote in this paper the day after those results “it’s harder again for Clare to take when they know that Limerick could have done more”. It was a point he reiterated on RTÉ’s The Sunday Game yesterday.
