Confidence is a currency the Limerick footballers have never been rich in. Infrequent exposure to winning noteworthy games means it could not be any other way.

When Treaty half-forward Cillian Fahy is asked to reflect on last year’s Munster SFC quarter-final win over this afternoon’s opponents, he reveals the 2019 triumph over Tipp was his first Munster Championship victory. And not just at senior level, he adds, it was his first Munster Championship win at any grade.
