Some nervy win, but a massive win at the same time. More was on the line for Limerick tonight, the positivity of the whole season was on the line tonight, whereas Clare can still go home tonight with their heads held high after a positive year. A win in Thurles, where we haven't won much at all in recent years. And the springing of Hannon, Downes and Hickey helping to close out the win.I knew we had the game won when Hickey came on. Even though I can't really remember him touching the ball after his introduction, it was a serious confidence boost when you realised you were able to bring on someone of his ability and experience at that stage. It was a real come-back-to-earth-with-a-bang performance in the first half though. Half-back line was in trouble, O'Mahoney was losing his battle and there were big gaps down the middle. The half back line stepped up in the second half though and that was probably the winning of it. DO'G was plucking balls and reading the game well and sweeping, Wayne Mac made a few important intercepts. Condon going off was a big worry, but they took Honan off soon after O'Neill went in on him and that calmed nerves. Downes was useful when he came on and scored the sealing point. We have probably seen the last of Brian Geary, it's unfortunate that he went out out of position, but in the latter half of the decade I felt he was our best and most consistent performer. His absence against Clare in 08 was probably a turning point for that team.A special mention for Niall Moran - delighted for him having played a stormer today. Classic Nialler over the shoulder points and the unusual scene of him plucking the odd ball and delivering shoulders. Came good today in a game that was on the line.

I have this thing in my head that 2017 will be our optimum year provided that things remain stable in Limerick between now and then. Obviously if things happened before then, it would be absolutely brilliant. In 2017:
Seamus Hickey, Gavin O'Mahony, James Ryan, Tom Condon, Richie McCarthy will be 30Hannon, Dowling, Downes will be in their mid 20sCian Lynch, Ronan Lynch etc will be 21In 2017 there will be a crop of players from the ages of 20 to 30 that will be as good a crop of players as we have had for a long time. Minding them and staying controversy free is critical for the next five years.

Hopefully now Limerick can do ok if we draw Kilkenny. Id be happy with a good performance and to be within 5 or 6 points at the finish

The second picture is of Niall. RTE usually get facts incorrect. This is a very minor mistake by RTE standards.The reason there is also a picture of the footballers is because they also had a tremendous win yesterday.

Great post, agree with it fully.I would add that I thought Limerick were much smarter with the ball, played it faster and as a consequence didn't run into trouble with short passing the way Clare did.I also think that Limerick didn't wilt in the last 10 the way they did against Clare and Tipp earlier in the year, I think the looked like they've learned to live with championship levels of intensity.

Are you Cristiano Ronaldo by any chance, I only ask because I honestly don't think I've come across someone with as big an ego as you.And not to be stirring but aren't winners usually happy? Again I just ask because I've never heard of an unhappy winner.And not to burst your bubble but I think the management and players would probably guess that its only winning that counts without your help.

Limerick is the most fickle county I know.Lose one match and slate everyone. Win one match and everything is perfect.
