Interesting. Was expecting Jack Prendergast in for Dunford. Perhaps our struggles in the half forward line last week prompted his inclusion. I would expect either Kearney or Brick to line out midfield with Barron, I don’t recall Gleeson lining out at midfield previously.

So called Pundits only ‘pen’ populist sh1te.....who remembers limerick getting bet by cork in their first league game.....don’t think we are in for a ten year period of dominance by LK as we got from kk in period 06-16 where they won 8 titles so w’ford Should not fear or feel anyway inferior to a team with one major title in 45 years....but then again I could be completely wrong. If w’ford Play to their strengths and have a good day, if the Bennett’s and Mahoney click up front, Gleeson can put in a good performance and the newer guys such as Lyons, etc continue improving we won’t be far away come Sunday at 4pm

Does that mean Waterford haven't won a major title in 60 yrs? We in Limerick can't be held responsible for what pundits say,ok if you pushed me I'd be picking Limerick but Waterford are going well and dont see there being much in it. I was v impressed with Waterford last week and hopefully they keep playing attacking hurling.
As for any team dominating as kk did I don't think that'll be happening anytime soon as there's too many good teams around these days

Byrnes is the playmaker for Limerick so presumably Brick will give something to think about.

Met a staunch Tipp supporter in my local earlier; he’s desperately hoping Limerick win (not that he’s anti Waterford) ; just thinks that they will lose the run of themselves altogether, should they win.

Thought that Tommy Ryan would retain his place but can see him coming on and picking up the pieces in the last 20 minutes.

I would expect Brick to be midfield with Jack to replace him at some stage.

Tipp are always hoping everyone else loses. That Tipp supporter might be right but I doubt Limerick will lose the run of themselves. As a Limerick person Clare is our biggest rivalry but Tipp are the team we love to beat most and weve done it with bad teams aswel as good. There isn't a Limerick man alive doesn't like beating Tipperary and bursting their bubble. Fantastic hurlers and all that aside.
I think Waterford will be very hard to beat. Fanning seems like the manager these young Waterford players need. He let's them Express themselves more than McGrath did. Barron is top class and that new full back looks excellent. Limericks half back line isn't the best when ran at but then what half back line is. I think Bennett will have his toughest assignment yet in Finn and Visa versa. I cant wait to see Gillane on Connors..2 spikey individuals.. I cant see Gillane getting away with giving Noel a little dig....hed be on his rear.
It ll be a great test for both teams. I'd just about give Limerick the nod

Concern trolls gotta concern troll.

Hopefully we can get off to a flyer... would be a different story giving Limerick a 6 point lead in the first half.

Hope the lads get going on the "B" of the Bang.

Hopefully there will be good support there tomorrow!

I’m empty reaching reading that bulls**t article by McGrath. He discreetly puts it out there how he changed Jamie Barron to being the player he is today but fails to mention how he destroyed the 2 Bennett’s as hurlers turning them into racehorses. Add Tommy Ryan to that list also. If you didn’t know any better you’d swear he was the most successful manager in hurling history but what gives him the authority he believes he’s entitled to is beyond me. One national league title and 2 relegations is his sum total. We won’t go into the hammering in the 2 Munster finals. His proposal to have a highlights programme on a Monday night with Cusack will be short lived if it ever makes the cut. The 2 clowns that tried to reinvent the wheel but got their mallets stuck in the spokes!!

Yes but the speed limits remain and so do the speed cameras on both sides of it so just saying this as a warning. The cameras are usually right at the end of the speed zones just so ye know.

Great news. I was planning on leaving an hour earlier so this gets me my daylight saving hour back in bed! Well used to the 60km zone that's been in place which is a right pain but bringing that down to one lane would have been a bottle neck within a bottle neck but at least it's all sorted.

What are the duels / one on ones to look forward to later........?

Connors v Gillane
Lynch v Barron
Finn v Bennett

Some of the Limerick guys look a little ‘beefy’ and a bit sluggish not taking away from their ability but sometimes coming into the last few mins of a tight match this could catch up with them....predicting an easy win for them all the same.....will help heap the pressure on them come the summer and the ‘invincible’ / red hot favorites tag will be nicely sticking to them and seeping into the panels and managements heads.

Looking forward to the day today, have a good feeling about it. Bringing my four year old son with me for his first visit to croke park - he's been at every game this year and is so pumped for today.

Well for him getting to see the Deise in a national final at croke park and he four years old, I was in my 30s before I had the pleasure

safe journey and best of luck too the team and management. Big bonus territory too not just get to a final but a final in Croke Park

Some league journey from Thurles too Croke Park in 2 months

Plenty of parking spaces at red cow park and ride. Traffic flowing well all way through M9 and N7.

Talk about a negative way to look at a national final. It's very sad. Waterford have won little enough over the years, certainly not enough to turn their noses up at a League. Limerick will be hard to beat in the summer weather they win today or not.

Anyone know if the traffic is busy on the motorway and if the delays are bad where the roadworks are?

We're only 10 mins on the motorway so would appreciate any suggestions on where we could park near Croke Park.

Just here. No delays. Here too early if anything.

Take no prisoners

Lads can anyone who's at the ground and who's got a programme mind throwing up the Waterford subs please? Would be greatly appreciated.
