Very interesting to see if that's the team that start..blanchfield must be ok if named in the panel..if he is fit to play it's a huge boost to the team..

I can see everything from a limerick hitting form and blowing us away to us winning by a couple..praying for the latter..not much build up in general but a long week in my little head..

Hard to know what the actual situation is. Has Blanchfield had a successful recuperation? Was is as bad as diagnosed? Is he being tried out? A big call nonetheless. Its a massive plus if he is fit and ok to play. We will need positives all over the field to win this but ive no doubt no effort will be spared. Best of luck to Lyng and his team. Its a massive day for him.

And they will plonk Hegarty on top of Blanchfield to test him out to the max.

He is not named on the 26 man panel so he is out along with English.

I never believe anything on here. Now he might not play and i wouldnt be surprised TBH. The only thing that puzzled me about his injury is that he didnt come off in the Clare game if it was as bad as was made out here.

Never believe anything you read on this page. It is full of bullshiters.

In fairness to Brookville he is usually accurate so I don't expect to see Blanchfield myself.

He was named at 7 but played half forward in the semi final

Repeating the request of Conor 05 above : one ticket preferably seated but Hill 16 is also good. I was at the junction of Hill 16 and the old Cusack Stand in both '73 and '74. I think 4 regulars missing in '73 and our number 12 was wearing glasses - is that my imagination ? lol - even still I think we missed a possibly decisive goal ? Perhaps Mick Crotty - otherwise very good player. '74, again from memory, Limerick were on top in the first ten minutes and then were overwhelmed by a very good KK team. I know, 5 decades on, that the game is much different now, but most of those lads in that team would comfortably meet the challenges of the modern game.

The man with glasses (and a white cap) was Paddy Broderick, of Johnstown.

Chunky was also dropped from the throw in to add to our woes. Ned area (rip) got a goal that should never have been allowed as about eight Limerick players tumbled Skehan into the net.

There were plenty for sale in Nowlan Park yesterday and big demand also.

The morning paper headline was… “Kilkenny without Keher like Hawaii 5-0 without McGarrett”…..

You’d have to be of a certain age to understand that headline 😁
