1983 but only Waterford

Fair play lads, thought ye just deserved it and have shown again ye can match and obviously beat them when it matters. Couldn't but like pat ryan.

I thought Kingston had a big part to play in the win, fair play.

Thought the same. He's not fast enough any more I think. Age is catching up with him. Missed a few frees as well today.

Hoggie is well worth his place. 7 points today. 3 from play. He missed a few but thats because he has such high standards, it feels strange! Limerick missed a few frees too so the wind must have been very hard to judge.

Kngston got 3 points too and Lehane with 2 points.Lehane set up another point and was fouled for a free too. The input from the bench was crucial!!

In fairness, I am the first to give about Collins all the time. The goal he conceded was poor from his point of view and in the extra time, he went short when we had the wind. Limerick promptly put it over the bar and I was gong mad as it was a giveaway. But to see him before the penalties, he looked really relaxed and came up with the goods so he shut me up there!

I have been saying this non stop. We finish games really strongly and its a testaments to our fitness levels. I thought Limeick faded a bit. Not all but some players. Today was about just gettng over the line although we all know it should really be a replay and not penalties.

I have said all allong that I think we will be playing Limerick 3 times this year. But next time, they won't be at home and we know we can beat them.

I reckon you boys will have 50k heading to Croker for the semi. Depending on who you meet it could be back to back semi sellouts.

A month for everyone to save up and plan the trip. Could be the biggest ever travelling cork crowd. Can't wait for it. The semi last year was something else.

I'm still buzzing after that! Limerick might feel aggrieved about the amount of time added on there in extra time, but we were the better team in normal time imo.

They only led us once in normal time towards the end and we probably should have sealed the deal without requiring extra time or penalties.

Kilkenny will probably beat Galway later on today so it will be Galway or Tipp in the semi final. Just hopefully we manage the layoff between games ok because on the last three other occasions we won Munster we subsequently lost in the semi final.

I think we won't be easily beaten now though there is a savage spirit and passion to this team. With the exception of that other Limerick game a few weeks ago we've been a very competitive team under Pat Ryan.

Don’t see how they’d be annoyed with the time added on, they wasted a minute or so on the Cahalane free. Quaid catches or bats away the long Coleman free (or goes in the net), it’s over.
