I didn't say Limerick would hammer Cork,but do they look a more promising side than Cork?I would think yes.I hope I'm proved right even for the sake of this online message forum alone!That Limerick half back line looks far more solid than Tipp's so i'd tip them to have more possession than Cork and create more.I could be wrong of course.Tipp should beat Waterford,but they look awful flat,Yes they rallied well in Thurles but one more poor half of hurling and its curtains for the season.

I personally think there is more potentail in Limerick but Cork are a year or two further into their development than Limerick, the most important line when playing Cork is your half forward line as opposed to your half back line, they are a pacey, skillfull team and they thrive on possession, if you look at Sundays game and compare the two halfs, in the frist half Tipp were asleep and putting no pressure on the Cork backs who were then able to deliver low diagnal ball into the space in front of the full forward line that is practically undefendable, in the second half when they upped their work rate in the forwards Cork didnt seem to have a plan b and while a draw was a fair result and I was bloody happy with it at the time I think if Tipp had made better use of their bench or indeed if Nash was human Tipp could have won the game which was unthinkable at half time.

The weeks rest should in theory help Limerick especially considering the 6 day turnaround for Cork but you get the impression that Limerick would have loved to play last week and feed off the momentum of their win against Tipp.

Knowing ciaran I'm a little surprised I wander were they selective in the parts they printed if we had beaten tipp and cork in cork that still looks a little strong maybe he was trying to drill confidence into them ahead of the match on sat.

Anyway I can see us giving cork plenty but will it be enough I'm not sure,big selection issue is will they start m casey instead of hickey also p casey is back they say but he won't start. I still think the cork backs give up chances but also cork have good forwards but so do we plus some v big men. Can't wait

It is only rubbish to be fair and I doubt any player will be reading it or taking any notice. Very unlike Carey as he's always a man of few words and often wonder about these interviews, are they walked into these situations by cute journalists.
Didn't Lar say before the Tipp/Limerick game that Ritchie English was an obvious weak link on the Limerick team and would be targeted big time by Tipp.
Never mentioned Hickey....:P

wonka · 31-05-2018 2:21pm

i see the south stand in Pairc Ui Chaoimh is now sold out for the match on Sat night. Should be a decent crowd there. Living in Cork and lots of sunshine supporters here heading along... new stadium, Cork team hype etc. Are there many travelling down from Shannonside?

seoirsem · 31-05-2018 4:56pm

Hello folks. Cork supporter posting here. If you're driving down and considering parking near the ground, then judging on last Sundays weeks game against Clare expect some serious delays trying to get back out.
Gardai have a new traffic flow set-up for big events in Pairc Ui Chaoimh and it was taking people over half an hour to get back to the bridge(s) that are on the way out of the city. My parents live in Farranree so would have headed Blackpool direction and it took them over an hour to drive home what normally would have taken around 20 minutes!!!
Just a heads up.
Travel safe!!!

yeah he is right the traffic was chronic , south of the lee , park anywhere north of the river long walk but probably worth it in the long run

billyhead · 01-06-2018 1:41pm

So whats the verdict for tomorrow folks. Mike Casey is the only change form the last day to replace Hickey. If we can keep their forward line quiet think we will win by 2-3 points but it will be close.

Gates open at 3:30 tomorrow. There are shuttle buses running and details along with parking information can be found at paircuichaoimh.ie

Advise from a local

If you get here early (2-3pm) there'll be parking to be had near enough ( within 15 minutes walk ) on the streets.
Failing that you can head to the rockies, cork con or blackash park and ride.

I would advise coming down via michelstown, paying the toll, and come in under the tunnel to access the general area south of PuC.

If anyone wants more specific directions just ask.

Appreciate your thoughts on this one. Coming in from Waterford with 2 young kids (<10) and on up to Limerick after the match. Suggested parking and exit route to minimise getting out and back on the road?

After just driving around the are this morning it seems cars are already starting to park up.

Getting in won't be a problem but leaving will be a nightmare, especially if you want to go through the city and out the limerick road.

Given that you are coming from Waterford I'd advise heading the blackrock/Mahon area and parking around 30 minutes walk from puc. That way you'll have probably around 30 minutes walk back to the car, 30 minutes to get to the tunnel and then a drive home via michelstown. The Rockies will have a fanzone with facepainting and all that but probably won't have too much green and white paint.

Parking options would then be somewhere along the road anywhere in blackrock if you get in early enough. Another option would be to park in Mahon point and get a bus into ballintemple, but that'd be a 45 minute walk back to your car.

That's exactly what I'd do. The earlier you get there the better. All the match parking will be signposted but if you're early enough you'll squeeze in somewhere on the road.

Browney7 · 02-06-2018 8:27pm

10 minutes left, we've outworked cork and in ways have kept them in it with some foolish frees. Have worked so hard since gillane pressed the self destruct button

No complaints about the red but we got a bit of a riding from the ref!
Great second half loads to build on from that display!

It's a pleasure to be a Limerick supporter again, win or lose they're showing great spirit and no little ability.

Bonniedog · 02-06-2018 9:19pm

Great performance. One of best games Ive seen in years, Fk the berudgers!

paddy no 11 · 02-06-2018 9:52pm

A great game to be at, great effort. Flanagan and mulcahy ran their guts out

Subs had a disaster really should have finished them

Great stuff limerick

Flanagan laoch na himreatha

Struggling to understand how we lost that with lots of great performances

Cork certainly got the breaks, dod sideline rolled as he struck it and straight to a cork score normally would be 90 yards downfield, the striking incidents went corks way and they got plenty of soft frees

I'm not sure pat Ryan is the super sub some make out, but pretty hard to come on cold and get to the pace of that game. The subs weren't great overall Browne gave up a score when he stood still for a puck out and Kearney got in and cork scored to leave 1 in it. Would still like to see Colin Ryan involved

A great side to follow, tom Morrissey was great

paddy no 11 · 03-06-2018 3:29pm

Watching it back on phone mulcahy was brilliant, he rattled cork and we should have finished it off. Why was a free given against mulcahy that time he fairly tackled Coleman, subsequent free to Horgan blatantly wasn't one either, we also gave away some frees which kept cork in it.

Yea Dan Morrissey played well but was dispossessed for the goal

Some effort from English give that he looked fcuked

Immense blocking from mul Morrissey Finn

We can get more from hayes in the backs but obvs kiely thinks he's our best option cf

What stands out for me watching this Limerick team is how assured they seem on the ball. Very little balls going into the forwards with snow on them - clever intelligent balls in.

The half forward line are well able to win their own ball which was our Achilles heel in times past. Half back line is very strong too.

We've a good mix in the team and they need to keep driving on now.

Any word on Hannon?

Do you think that Shane Dowling should have been introduced into full forward. Limerick needed a goal to close the game.

paddy no 11 · 03-06-2018 4:43pm

Can't be sending Mickey Cahill off for that ffs. It's hurling not a tea party

billyhead · 03-06-2018 7:07pm

Folks, What would you think about putting Hickey in midfield? I must say aswell that Cian Lynch has been fantastic this year. Has a great engine and can match anyone physically.

Bang on about the high balls. Dan morrisseys point a great example. Nobody panicked and they worked it around the cork defense and hego hit dan with a great pass in the middle.
It cant be a coincidence that mulcahy is having a great year. The delivery in is more intelligent. No hit and hope. Himself and flanagan ran their socks off.
There is a buzz about the place about this team. I was at mass this morning and there were lots of people wearing limerick tops including myself. I was out and about later and 2 absolute strangers wanted to engage in full blown conversation about the match. I duly obliged!!!

letsseehere14 · 03-06-2018 10:59pm

Great progress this year. Lads starting to put their hands up and take responsibility. Lynch is having a big year. Huge one next week. Need a result. Do not want to have to go to Ennis needing a win

03-06-2018 11:57pm

Great to see the minor side come away with a win. It is absolutely vital we start a continual production line of talent into the senior squad.

LMK · 04-06-2018 12:30am

Very good yesterday.
It's a strange championship, all the Munster c'ship games have been frantic and I'd say each team still fancy their chances.
Limerick have improved greatly over the last 12 months, I feel confidence is playing a big part. They are hard to beat young,fit,aggressive with good hurling ability.
I think that the backs while individually are to be commended need to be more composed and must perform more efficiently as a unit. I felt Mike Casey did really well at full back but that Declan Hannon was a loss when we had to perform without him.
Midfield really good and Cian Lynch is a warrior, and might be our most indispensable player now.
Forwards worked like dogs with the half forwards all able to win primary possession.
Biggest negative was the indiscipline shown for the red card offence just saw it on TV tonight and how that is dealt with by John Kiely could have a big influence on the future of this Team he has a big call to make.

You can really see the effect Paul Kinnerk is having on the panel in terms of fitness levels. It was a huge coup to take him away from Clare.

What has he to do with fitness? Is that not Joe O'Connor?

The heads up and running/hitting the ball into space hurling is Kinnerk.

No man Phuckhugh is right, Kinnerk is the coach and Joe O'Connor is doing strength and conditioning. Both are doing an excellent job.

Not sure what you are basing any of that on to be perfectly honest.

Cork/limerick will be 50/50, you say Gillane will have a field day, we'll Kingston and Horgan will be falling over each other tp see who gets to play on Hickey!

Clare v Tipp in thurles will be a cracker but Clare havent won a championship game of note outside on Ennis in 5 years, If Tipp have the same attitude and application that they showed in the 2nd half yesterday Clare wont live with them.

I'm basing it on the fact that Limerick went down to Galway and won in this years league in what was the most pivotal game of the league.Yes,it's only the league but this team is excellent and even with Gillane off they outplayed Cork.Cork wont challenge for an AI I dont think
,its all very well and good performing well in the early stages of the championship as Cork tend to do every single year only to tail off when it gets to the crunch.Fitzgibbon and Coleman are very good players as is Horgan but the consistency isnt really there.

Funny you say that about Cork. They may be struggling in the latter stages of championship but Limerick have had great teams that failed in the latter stages of championship too. 2013 comes to mind.

Yes but look at the maturity Limerick are showing here.They dont panic.Any other team would have fallen apart the other night and retreated.And this game was away in Cork.Seriously character building I would imagine

Not sure that was a great Limerick team either.Decent perhaps but didn't enthral as much as this one or have as much depth.

Hannon is fit for Sunday. Is Gillane suspended for 1 or 2 Games? Hopefully Waterford will find it hard mentally to get over last Sunday and it will play into our Hands:)

Straight red is a 1 match ban I believe so back for Clare game. Moran for Waterford only got 1 game and is back for them Sunday.

Hopefully we wont need him by then. John Kiely may rest him for the Clare game aswell to save him for the Final if we win on Sunday just in case he picks up an injury. Peter Casey could slot in for him.
