Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

Ballybrown have had enough good performances now that in hindsight they were not shocks. Definitely the 3rd best team and best placed to cause an upset and make the final.

I don't see an upset in the QFs but Kilmallock have looked vulnerable at times so Monaleen have a chance.

Hard not to see a clear path to the final for NaP and Doon though.

Ye Monaleen a definite chance against Kilmallock who have been very poor in the last couple of games.

Adare did well to get to a quarter final....wouldn't see them going any further.

Ballybrown should have too much for Adare you would think, Monaleen/Kilmallock should be closer but Kilmallock should have too much experience for them, would be a great shot in the arm for the senior championship though to see 2 young teams in BB and Monaleen get through to the semis, hopefully they're too competitive games.

It's 50/50 between the 2 for the title and it's looked that way from very early on. A shock isn't impossible but it would be exactly that a shock in the true sense of the word.

There is too much copying "what sucessful people do" in sport.

The Limerick system works well for Limerick because it suits the numbers and skill levels of the clubs.

Clare might need change (I don't know) but it needs to be a change that suits Clare.

Na Piarsiagh have been excellent defensively. Smothering the opposition and very hard to play against. A few former Limerick players have starred, Adrian Breen, David Dempsey and Kevin Downes.

Doon haven't fully clicked into top gear. Lucky tp win a couple of games v Ballybrown and Ahane, but no surprise if they have timed their run and up their game for the semis.

Hard to see Kilmallock winning it out. Went the distance today v Monaleen, Shane O Brien class the difference. Monaleen keep making forward strides. Ballybrown underperformed v Adare but its all about winning and they got over the line. Very good year for them regardless of semi final result.

I'd fancy Na Piarsiagh.

Whoever wins goes in against Ballygunner in the Munster club. I probably thought the same last year, but having watched the Waterford final, they will not be beaten by anyone in Munster or elsewhere.

They were finished for the year before that incident happened. Lost all 5 matches and relegated to group 2 for next year.

I was hoping monaleen would win but didn't expect them to but they put up a great battle. Someone told me I'm sure this Yr that castletroy colleges harty team had 13 starters from monaleen and they were competitive so that's very positive from their perspective.

It'll be a doon v nap final if you asked me in early season I'd have went for doon but nap now.
