Tony Ward was chatting to the press after last Saturday night’s Limerick SHC semi-final when he reduced the conversation to first principles.

His Doon side had eased past Kilmallock with an efficient display to book a place in the decider against Na Piarsaigh, but Ward was stressing how significant a first senior title is to a club. How challenging the step is.
