Byrnes continues his ascent to scoring greatness 

At the end of his man-of-the-match TV interview in front of the Mackey Stand, Diarmaid Byrnes shook his fist to the hordes of Limerick supporters gathered around him, which was probably a reflex reaction to the encircling giddiness, hype and excitement. After putting his award into a white box, Byrnes put the box under his arm and casually strolled through a corridor of Limerick fans on his way to the dressing-room.
