Aye, it's just Cian, Ronan is doing the Leaving Cert this year. Tom Morrissey & Cian Lynch are the only players from the last 2 minors team who are on the panel at the moment.

Looking forward to the game in kilmallock today. It is a great opportunity to get another win under the belt with Limerick short 10 or more from the panel. Very confident of another victory for us.

That's nice to hear. But ye can still only start 15 players and "some of yer own" will not get a game .

I think he's wrong about Mahony, Dillon, O'Brien and Gleeson as WIT are not involved this weekend. DJ Foran is another who'd be missing due to being with UCC I would think and Shane Roche as well.

Curran coming on as a sub instead of starting, sure no wonder we lost #upthe brickeys.

Deise189

Anyone at the match know how Waterford played?

PTH2009

If we took off the 15 players and left Cormac Curran play the last 20 minutes on his own we would have won by six points

If I get to the nearest airport now, I might make it back on time!

Good man, it's all just s bit of craic

looking at the half back line V Limerick.

Gavin O’Brien, Austin Gleeson, Pa Walsh

Not sure how they went but I'd prefer Brick Walsh center back along with Moran and Nagle, never understood dropping him.

Gleeson I think would be better as a half forward and would be able to take a score better than Brick.




What do people think will be our starting half back line in June?

Wat 1-15 Lim 2-15

This was a tough battle. Kilmallock in January is just a hard place to come out of with a result especially considering the the appearance of the majority of Limerick frontline players except the local club players. Waterford started brightly on an icey pitch and built up lead of 1-7 to 0-3 points after 20 or so minutes. The goal came from a lovely floated pass from Brian O Halloran into Jake Dillon. With Ritchie McCarthy left flat footed, Dillon held his nerve when one on one. While Limerick were guilty of a lot of wides, underfoot conditions scuppered the likes of Kearney and O Halloran while promising combination play between Connors and Breathnach failed with slightly wayward hand passes and control.

After the likes of James Ryan and Wayne McNamara dispensed with the hard man act Limerick started to hurl a bit and Waterford really retreated. Still coming up to Half time it looked like the Deise would have a cushion for the turnaround, unfortunately on the whistle the speculative ball into Begley finally paid off when the sliother broke to Adrian Breen who took his chance well.

Up until that point Shane Fives did really well at Full Back on Begley and continued to do so throughout the game but early in the second half a driven ball in bounced from his hand to the goal. An ugly one but with the rain and the cold was just unlucky. At this stage I thought Limerick would pull away being 2-10 to 1-9 up but management changed the structure of the attack opting for beef in the form of Brick and Curran and later pushing Aussie back up to win ball. Cormac Curran was just what we needed, he flattened Wayne McNamara which resulted in a free out and a yellow card but I can't say I was disappointed with that, we were too light for too long before that. He showed his ability with the stick to score from under the stand and with his presence up top at least the ball didn't come straight back which happened a lot.

Overall Limerick are definite favorites to win the League game on this evidence. They are a strong team with now added quality and pace of Cian Lynch. However David Breen who caused all sorts of trouble in the opening exchanges went off injured and the Kilmallock lads wont be coming back into their team while for Waterford there is the likes of the Mahonys, the UCC lads and maybe Daragh Fives to return.

McNulty, Fives and Connors all played well in the FB line.. Gavin O Brien and Martin O Neill were good, Pa Walsh needed a ladder to mark Breen but fought hard and was happy to see the back of him. Austin Gleeson started very well but Limerick just by-passed him in the second half and he didn't get much service when swapped to the forwards either. It was a tough day for the forwards against seasoned defenders but they all had their moments and tried hard , you would expect them to improve with the ground. A lot to iron out but there does seem to be options going forward.

Philip Mahony Moran and darragh fives. Bourke is the best full back in the co. Imo we need him there
