Maurice Brosnan: History wrote to Limerick in Semple Stadium. Limerick wrote back

Hegarty twisted the knife, but the initial cut was completely self-inflicted. Limerick scored 1-14 from turnovers. True, much of that was forced by one awesome line, but too much of it was gifted too.

Declan Hannon and Limerick got the job done again on Sunday.

Nothing is ever new. Some teams are just better. Limerick wrote themselves into history as the first-time six-in-a-row Munster champions. History wrote to them first.

All week long the talk was of 1998. Clare’s 26-years of provincial suffering since. Remember that day. Its ghosts glided into Semple Stadium on Sunday. Past kings now tortured by current ones.
