Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

i dont think there is need for drastic change , i think the likes of cathal o'neill and colin coughlin have been groomed to take over in the half back line , a few tough decisions will have to be made but few changes needed , maybe hegerty and hayes either side of coughlin could be the new half back line

Great news. Hopefully all the players will stay on board. There is certainly a few more All Irelands in this team

doesn’t look like it , too much like work for county board . They also got rid of county program that had all 64 hurling teams for championship weekends in it which was a major step backwards in terms of promotional work . They used the excuse of losing money but it was only small money which is offset by the large takings at the gate those weekends .

They had the line ups for every match across all grades.

Where were these published?

if kiely was walking away it would be announced by now. Sure davy has left a county and got a job with a county and vacant roles more or less filled since.

Interesting not one player retirement yet.

Anyword on casey. Danilo for forest had a similiar injury completely broken ankle in the prem in august and is expected back january.

need curid back. The two seasons she wasnt involved. 2019 and 2024 two sf losses.

Doon had nothing to play for. Ahane are pretty average. Lots of good work in Monaleen and Mungret alright.

There is no big 4 in Limerick GAA. A big 3,4, whatever tag is always in relation to teams who dominate for generations so it's a bit rich to call NaP who are only recently successful and Doon who have never won a county the "big 4". It's like saying Limerick and Clare are part of the "big 3" in intercounty.

Ahane are running teams close in a system where the title contenders are looking to peak later in the tournament. They are nowhere near causing any trouble in ado or die game.

There is currently a best 4 but I don't think it's anything to worry about or says much about Limerick hurling. Teams will come and go same as before.

Mungret and Monaleen have huge population centres and are doing alot of good work underage so likely that they will join NaP and you will have a big 3 contending. Pwell, Kilmallock, Doon etc will always have tradition but it will be difficult for them stay in the top 4.

Doon have Oola as well to pick from and although they have never won a Senior would have always been in the senior grade and would always have representation on Limk minor, U20 etc. There has been very little new housing estates built in rural villages in the last 20 years so rural clubs are likely to struggle going forward in terms of numbers.
