    What's the story with Conor Boylan? Did he opt out of Limerick panel last year to go travelling? Still has alot to offer county team I would think?

    Massive task for Na Piarsiagh to tackle Ballygunner in the Munster club.

    Ballygunner have knocked the Limerick champions out for the last six years in a row. Na Piarsiagh got closest to them two years ago, with a 4 point defeat.

    Ballygunner scored 2-35 in their county final. That game was several weeks ago due to the system Waterford have of playing hurling off in one block.

    Ballygunner didn't look great last year. If it wasn't Doon's first time out they could have won it.

    Ide say it's a 50/50 game with the winner obviously then being favourites for Munster.

    I’d say not being brought on in the 24 semi final against Cork with only 4 subs used probably told him he wasn’t trusted by management to make any difference. With the exception of Gillane that starting forward line was a beaten docket in the second half. 3 of them were replaced.

    That forward line scored 29 points and finished strongly pulling the Cork lead back.

    The only mistake with the subs was they were too late but the right changes were made. Shane O’Brien for Flanagan (52), Adam English for Reidy (53), Darragh O’Donovan for O’Donoghue (53), Aidan O’Connor for T Morrissey (63). Mul and O'Dalaigh were far more likely to come on ahead of him too..

    well then he knows he’s surplus to requirements and moved on. Came on previous years including Croke Park and made a difference. He probably expected a run.

    Highlights were on TG4 a few minutes ago. O'Donovan's goal was even better than I realised. Didn't notice he soloed it in the first time.

    Sadly didn't Will O'Donoghue thinking he was Declan Hannon and nailing one form way out the pitch. For a man who can't shoot it was some attempt.

    Also was great to have the anthem played by a band after all that dire shte at the soccer and rugby.
