Towards the end of our post-match chat, Eoin Brislane removed his Monaleen manager’s beanie and threw on a blue and gold scarf.

Brislane’s Monaleen team were bigger and stronger than their Roscrea opponents in Sunday's Munster club intermediate final. It served as a microcosm and a reminder of the strength and conditioning lead that Limerick continue to enjoy over their neighbouring counties, Brislane’s native Tipperary included.
