Best of luck to the players, management team and backroom staff today.
I know they will all give 100% and keep going to the final whistle, I just hope our tactical approach is spot on.
c'mon the Cats, give it all.
4 points in it and haven't really hurled at all. Only picking up scraps. Not close to the breaking ball. Big improvement necessary in 2nd half. Maybe wally and donnelly on. I'm expecting richie hogan in before long too
Did well to hang on after that Limerick start, need more from the full forward line
A kittle from the ref would help too
He's made some of the absurd comments during what could loosely be called analysis. Might be a decent fella but not the brightest bulb.
Even though we are hanging on in there, if we continue to play the way we are, Limerick will end up winning by 6-10 points. Our tactics have to change big time. KK have to figure out how to get around the cynical fouling that Limerick commit any time we get within 40 yards of their goal. We need goals because Limerick will be confident they can score more points than us.
Well done boys. Gave their all and can be very proud of that performance. Limerick a great team and worthy champions.
End of Cody. Good effort but better team won.
Well done to the lads. There was only a score between the sides at the end and Limerick were really rattled in that second half. Our full-back line were outstanding.
Well done to Limerick, fantastic team.
Absolutely nothing but respect to Kilkenny today an absolute titanic battle congrats and comizerations You don't know how much this means to us in Limerick I hope we do battle in next year's final!
The team with the most players normally win
Listening on the radio here in the states and have not stopped pacing the entire time. GH's first 1/4, maybe 1/2 was the winning of the game.
Was great to hear Richie score the equalizer! It would have been something had things gone differently & he chipped over the winning score.
CONGRATS to both teams today. KK were brilliant & can hold their heads high! But LK did what they do best. Win.
Lots of comments about the ref but as I couldn't watch the match I can't comment.
Disappointing & impressive at the same time.
Cody should retire now for the sake of kilkenny hurling. They aren't winning any more All Irelands with him at the helm.
You ate either trolling or deluded..that performance had Cody's stamp all over it.. any other team would have wilted and lost by 10/15
Cody didn't lose that the 2 decisions close to half time were. One was a 2 point decision. But its not the first time Lyons has screwed Kilkenny
You really think someone else could have gotten more from this talented but young team?
Gutted but that was some effort against a top class team. Fair play and hard luck to everyone involved and congrats to Limerick.
And Hegarty. A goal for the ages was essentially the difference maker.
No quit in our lads whatsoever.
People talking about Cody leaving are delusional. He squeezed every ounce of talent out of what is an average Kilkenny side. It wasn’t Cody hitting soft wides. He also made some decent changes. We just don't have the same depth we once had. No shame in that.
Cody will retire after this. He has to.
Went down with honour today. Just didn't get the scores in the 55th-65th minutes that allowed them to pull a bit too far ahead.
Why?
Hasn't won All Ireland since 2015. He's done.
Find a different tread
Its thread.
Grow up ffs....
He is past that.
Leave him alone he is a cork man with nothing to give him hope..he has just watched the alleged worst kilkenny team in 20years put it up to the great limerick team..imagine what the 4 in a row kilkenny team would have done to them..
Chill out, only a game.
A very young panel. There's a few All Irelands in this lot.
All the more impressive that the more pressure was on them, the better they did.
