    The only 3 I see that were not regular starters or m won't be starting in the championship this year are Murphy, Coughlan and Stokes.

    Match called off due to unplayable pitch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭Greensoup


    will have to be refixed for st Patrick’s weekend as it’s only weekend with no hurling on which will mean Limerick will have to play 4 weekends in a row. Not ideal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭biglad40isback


    Not ideal but its the league so can rotate accordingly the b team should have enough for wexford at the gg final round anyway

    Hopefully we pick up a few points in the first 2 games and then we can put the B team out knowing we are safe in 1A.

    Definitely don't want to go into the Wexford game needed a result.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭rubbledoubledo


    Definitely Kiely needs to have a word with him , needs to lay it on the line for him . Munster is way to close to call now , definitely need the full 15 playing for every game .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,214 ✭✭✭johnnyryan89


    Game against Clare has just got tastier given their result against Wexford. We could officially relegate them if Cork beat Kilkenny on the Saturday. Hopefully the extra week off doesn't see our lads going into the game too rusty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭HurlingBoy


    Clare will almost certainly need at least a draw to avoid relegation now so in this game will be playing for their lives. Limk will now have 3 weeks in a row so may be abit of squad rotation so Clare will have more to play for. Still going on form in front of home crowd Limk should prevail.

    Kilkenny game refixed for Saturday 15th at 3.30pm

    Massive blow for Clare with SOD out. You have to feel sympathy for any player being injured but in terms of the sporting context and keeping Limericks interests at heart he's one less player to worry about when we meet in the Munster championship.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 858 ✭✭✭lim4ev


    Huge blow he's an unbelievable player. I admire him so much as a player and a person .I don't think there's anyone that will be missed more than him including even kelly.

    Two changes from the 15 that was meant to play Kilkenny. Ethan Hurley comes in at 6 with Hannon dropping out altogether and Gillane replaces Dowling in goals.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,061 ✭✭✭einn32


    I'd expect a ferocious go at this game from Clare. They need a win plus our history!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,214 ✭✭✭johnnyryan89


    It's why I worry about having the extra week off. Clare will be up for it in general because it's Limerick but the lose against Wexford adds extra spice to things.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭biglad40isback


    plenty of work for Kiely and co to do. Sob started well but faded out. Fitzgibbon players looked leggy. Could and should have scored 3 goals. Wonder does kiely want to make the league final or just find the right team and be ready for thurles chocolate egg day.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Strange game....crowd was very quiet, it was like Limerick fans weren't too bothered about the result and maybe it filtered down to the pitch (?)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭High bike


    The team that wanted it more today won,having said that if we had taken one or two of the goal chances it could have been a different result.Overall id say JK would be happy enough with the league so far,he seems to have more options all over the field .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,564 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Everyone at the match was saying this. It was bit weird and disappointing given the teams involved.

    Great to see Nash back and he didn't disappoint. Flanagan and SO'B really let Gillane down as he was doing really well up forward but mostly alone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 306 ✭✭Montys return


    Gillane is a brilliant ball winner and so consistent in putting in 4+ point from play performance every time he goes out.

    Would you be abit concerned about him not being clinical enough in taking goals though? He should have had 2 or 3 today. Going back through the years, I can remember chances he had against Kilkenny in 2018, ourselves in 2021, Clare in Munster last year and last year in the all ireland semi.

    Some of those weren't fatal but it was today and probably would have been the difference in the All Ireland semi. It would be harsh to blame him for those that ended with defeats because he was generally really good but you have to take your goal chances.

    yep awful habit of going high trying to blow the net out of it and other times planting legs so giving the back a chance to block.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,449 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    it was a great game to watch on tv , i had the clare fm commentary on with it and it didnt sound like a bad atmosphere but its only a league game really

    i imagine diarmuid byrnes will get that red overturned , the clare commentators were saying that tyler walsh sent someone off in a ucc game a few weeks ago in the fitzgibbon for the same thing , but it looked very harsh

    the point he got a few minutes earlier was outstanding he threw i think it was sean rynne out of the way and shot from about 90 yards down field over the bar it was somthing else ,

    i also think jason gillane is a much better keeper then i first taught , i actually taught dowling would be your keeper this year just on long range puck outs alone , but the one area where limerick were short today was in the middle 3rd and he found his men well and looks a good free taker too, barry nash was excellent too but you nearly expect that as normal from him now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭biglad40isback


    Kelly should have seen red



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 232 ✭✭LMK


    Good game for Limerick to get, sticky enough underfoot and the ref let a lot go, the goal turned the game and Clare were good value for the win, Limerick with plenty to work on.

    Today probably a lack of pace in the backs, Nash excepted, Cian and English were good but Malone & Taylor had the upper hand, the half-forward's were not as effective as normal, inside Arron G. looks razor sharp. Jason did ok in goals but hopefully trying to buy a free out by falling over in contact is a lesson learned ref's have stopped giving those at inter county



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,449 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    yeah he was lucky , because of who he was probably worked in his favor , byrnes was very unlucky to be sent off , hogan could have been done for a knee in the mele , byrnes is one of the best in the game and hopefully it gets overturned



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,449 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    it was a much better game then the match in cork last night in terms of first touch and intensity , but limerick have loads to come back they probably wont be overly happy with the bull o'brians impact in the second half , in fact i taught the inside line were below par for limerick , the worry i have is despite all the absentees in the middle 3rd we still struggled at times in wining dirty ball and our ball into the forwards , we got good ball in the first 15 minutes of the half but even when ye were down to 14 the ball into out forwards from midfield was poor

    i think jason gillane looks the part in fairness , he has huge shoes to fill, i think adam english has another gear too



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭biglad40isback


    I was there and on the pitch after full time. There was a laid back attitude to this loss in the stands no doubt. Kielys interview basically summed it for me.

    Its the league and clate only started to care once in trouble after last week. I have a feeling Kiely doesn’t want a league final. Win 2/3 and finish outside top 2 and be ready for thurles April 21




    Win



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 618 ✭✭✭C4000


    The game passed Flanagan by, but a bit harsh on O Brien. He won 7 balls out in front of his man, got 2 points, won 2 frees and drew a good save from quilligan. Faded out in the last part of the game alright.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,564 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Can't be swinging arms around the way he was regardless of how many landed or the mitigation.

    Ref should have carded a few Clare lads for starting the whole thing though. Technically I think he is supposed to card everyone who got involved.
