The goal 

In the 11 All-Ireland semi-finals and finals Limerick have played since 2018, only three times have they failed to score a goal. Two of those were during the covid season of 2020 and they didn’t concede any in those two games either. The only team to score a goal and keep a clean sheet was Galway in the 2022 semi-final. Until now.
