Water breaks weren’t around in July 2019 but in the opening quarter of their All-Ireland semi-final against Kilkenny, Limerick were figuratively taking on plenty of H20.

Down 1-8 to 0-3 after 18 minutes, it was a deficit they ultimately couldn’t make up and if there is one criticism of this great Limerick side it’s that they have been slower out of the blocks than their opponents.
