They were but wasn't English injured? I think I'd like to see either r Mac or casey at 3 and move hickey to 7 another option is hego at 7 I feel we have way more options in the forwards than we have in the half back line.

Would agree re. Hegarty, I can see why and what Kiely is doing trying him in the forwards but to be honest he is not worth his place in the forwards, Limerick have 6 better forwards, however he is definitely good enough as a wing back.

Based on his last couple of performances I wouldn't move hegarty for anything. He is massive at wing forward.

Nailed on starter in my opinion but I would prefer him at wing back if I'm honest. Don't get me wrong, he's useful in the forwards but doesn't contribute enough scores.

Also, on a separate note, I have to say I have been very impressed by Sean Finn at corner back since he came into the team in 2017. Consistently good and a fantastic man marker

Yeah I can see both sides of the argument to be honest, a good forward line is all about balance and there is little point in having six free scoring 'nice' forwards - Gillane and Casey for example - if you dont have the players with the work rate and physicality to complement it. Hegarty fits that bill I guess, just feel that Limerick could get more from him in the half back line.

I would agree Finn has been very impressive as has Richie English even though sometimes he needlessly fouls, his been very good. It will be interesting when Mike Casey comes back as I think his a quality player. I can't see Kiely putting him in full back as I see him persisting with Hickey there. I think with the four championship games in Munster this year they will all see plenty of action and hopefully all stay fit.

At the start of the year, I would have been one of the people who said Hegarty should be playing half back but he seems to be improving all the time in the forwards. He offers us something different up there and when he gets the ball in his hand is very hard to stop. I can see why Kiely is persisting with him and if we could get him and Kyle Hayes playing well In the half forward line we might finally have half forwards who can win ball in the air.

I can also see why people would like to see both in the half back line as they've both been excellent their underage. It's great to have competition for places and naming a starting 15 isn't as easy as it was under TJ. Kiely is actually developing a squad

paddy no 11 · 22-03-2018 9:35pm

Backs should play in the backs, play every fella in his best position and you'll generally do best in my experience of watching hurling. Hegarty might make it because of his puckouts and has a good skill set and vision. Would bring hayes back if anyone

Lots of options - great

Casey and gillane would be nailed on forwards for me but the other 4 is up in the air

Finn and Casey were our starting corner backs last year.

come on , for all mikey casey done last year compared to finn is incomparable , when i said casey i ment peter , and while michael has had a good run with the club i still dont see him as intercounty championship level compared to english who is far more experienced for his age

lim4ev · 25-03-2018 8:54am

I'd agree we can't move Finn or English but I think no3 is up for grabs and considering the consternation in the nap defence as soon as m casey went off though I know it's club hurling it was incredible up to that had cuala a smell of a goal? Plus these were inter county hurlers granted they weren't callinans or bubbles or joe cannings but still fine hurlers who would test a lot of inter county full back lines. I think casey has to be looked at and put hickey to hb line as for me we can't win an all irl with hannon and morrissey at 6 and 7 might with hannon alone but not both. I'd love to be proven wrong

paddy no 11 · 27-03-2018 10:48am

No idea if Kiely will select any Na P players this week, personally think they should be given the time off - he can integrate them into the panel in the weeks after clubs and before c'ship - maybe with the exception of downes who hasn't done as much hurling as the rest and is in good form, i'd have him on the bench for Saturday

I'd really like to see downes come good on the 40 his best place is 30 yards from goal he can win a ball and wreak havoc from there without being bottled up

Dempsey is also a natural forward and Hayes or hegarty should be pushed back into half back line

Dowling an impact as a FF and casey in the corner for c'ship not this weekend

JohnnyFlash · 31-03-2018 8:57pm

Very promising signs for the Limerick hurlers. There’s a fairly deep squad there and great half back line. No one will want to play them. Wasteful with their shooting, but that can be worked on.

Spudmonkey · 31-03-2018 9:38pm

Very wasteful with their shooting and a brainfart from Nicky was the difference.

Still a good campaign. Promotion was a great reward from the league.

paddy no 11 · 31-03-2018 10:03pm

Honestly think tipp had another gear and we were better off losing

Wides terrible in first half started with Flanagan missing a simple starter

A couple of our forwards weren't good enough tonight and I think david Dempsey and downes have to start at half forward

Graeme very sharp and looks our best impact sub

Gillane our best forward

Richie mac at full back everytime

paddy no 11 · 31-03-2018 10:04pm

I'd imagine byrnes will be roasted by management for those wides

Hannon was good but dispossessed a few times

Neutral observer here, and there was no doubt that Tipp could pull something extra from the bag if they needed it. They’ll be very close to regaining the AI this year. I was impressed by Limerick though for the most part - some poor shooting aside (and Quaid’s terrible blunder!) Couple of years behind in their development compared to Tipp and Galway, but there’s good young hurlers there, and they were able to bring on impact subs off the bench.

Those wides from Byrnes were head wrecking. He seems to go for the Austin Gleeson Hail Marys far too often. They don't work out often enough to be worthwhile.

LMK · 02-04-2018 11:41am

Limericks attitude was really good, competed aggressively for everything, won a lot of possession.
Poor wides ok especially so from far out.
Half forward line were very impressive, 3 big men as well, Cian Lynch has turned int a serious competitor and Browne played well when he came on, Nash looked good as well...
Some very nice corner forwards but a criticism is whoever starts needs to be able to compete for dirty ball, I think that there are 2 or 3 similar in that they can come in with 20mins to go and it suits them better, and they look better but are not a good from the get go.
Full back position is biggest concern, I'd prefer Hickey in the corner but that'd be very harsh on English, between Richie and Mike Casey for the no 3.
Of the returning NaP lads the 2 Dempesys, Shane Dowling and the 2 Caseys will all push for starting spots.

commonsense. · 04-04-2018 11:51am

Absolutely agree re similar type forwards. That is why a fit dowling would be a big asset to that forward line . But I just don't think he's nearly fit enough to start. 15/20 minutes off the bench but until he gets about 30% fitter that's about it.
Alan Dempsey well worth a serious look at by Kiely imo.Â Intelligent player who always tries to do the right thing with the ball. David Dempsey still has a bit to go to command a starting place.
Peter Casey a certain starter imo - the best of the "similiar" type players by a distance. Surely Mike Casey has to start after destroying Con O'Callaghan for 110 minutes.
Kevin Downes also has to be in with a big shout.
None of the rest of the Na Piarsaigh contingent are up to that standard yet.

Dowling not long back from knee surgery in the AI final games and still had two big games. He will be plenty fit enough for championship.

Alan Dempsey has been dropped off the panel which is a nonsense. He was the best player on the Na P team in the AI final and replay and is a better hurler than at least 5 on the Limerick panel vying for similar positions and will hurl them off the field come club championship.

He has never been so far in his intercounty career, what has changed? Don't get me wrong, an incredible skilfull and intelligent hurler but no where near fit enough for the modern intercounty game.

Very impressed with that Limerick performance,great link play throughout the pitch.Given that ye had 11 wides to Tipp's 2 over the 70 Minutes.I think it's clear what needs to be worked upon.
Buildup play from Limerick players was exceptional throughout.Final ball sometimes let them down but this is a team capable of getting to the last 4 this year and maybe more.
Gillane is as good a forward as I have seen to emerge on the Inter county scene.He has serious potential.Hopefully ye will make it through Munster this year.Would fancy ye Vs Clare,Waterford and Cork and well capable of beating Tipp at home who still have a few lads like Callanan and Bubbles that need gametime because they are decisive players unlike Curran and McCarthy.

Agree with most of what you say but I have actually been a small bit dissapointed with Gillane so far this league from play ( I will admit I only seen the Galway, Clare and Tipp games), he was held scoreless against Galway and only a point last week, I appreciate that he is probably better suited to summer conditions and hard ground, but the two times he came up against top corner backs he was easily nullified. Would worry about a full forward line that contains both Gillane and Casey, they would struggle to impose themselves and win primary possesion. Casey is a far more rounded hurler for me.

Yeah I'd agree about Gillane, I thought he worked very hard against Galway and won some good frees but when he comes up against top quality inter county cornerbacks there's still question marks about him. His relatively inexperienced at inter county level and his young, the potential is there. He was poor against Tipperary but it looked like he was carrying an injury and should have been taken off earlier. I think he'll be a starter come championship though

LMK · 04-04-2018 7:03pm

Very strange that Alan Dempsey isn't on the panel, I'd expect him to be in the mix for the first 15 all things being equal..

I would have Dowling in there all day long at 14, regardless of his 'fitness'.
When push came to shove he has produced the goods over the last few years. Has a great brain. Remember that it was Dowling and Richie Mac that were Limerick's best players in Nowlan Park last year when we could've beat the Cats.
Also, I find it mind-boggling how 2 players from mediocre junior teams in West Limerick can make the squad of 36 ahead of Alan Dempsey, a player who is clearly in the form of his life right now, as anyone that watched the 2 club finals will agree.
One of these players couldn't make the matchday 26 for the U21 final just 6 months ago.
Really hope that there is an opportunity for Dempsey to play himself back into contention over the next few weeks.

Agree 100% Dowling is quality, and as I said intialy a very intelligent hurler, would be the perfect foil for Casey and Gillane, if you play those two you have to play a three man FF line and if Dowling plays the full 70 it has to be at the edge of the square.

will be interesting to see what plans Kiely has for both him and Downes.
Dowling won an All-Star at 14, causing JJ Delaney all sorts of problems in a semi-final at a time when JJ was destroying most opponents at will.

I think to date Kiely to his credit has gotten pretty much everything spot on, personally I had serious reservations about the move of Hegarty to the forward line but on the basis of the Clare and Tipp games Kiely has gotten that spot on and he has added a much needed physicality to the HF line.

Munster Championship has the potential to be epic, no one could confidently call the top 3 or rule out any of the 5.

Well without doubt Tipp will take 1 place, so that leaves 4 teams in a dogfight for the other 2 spots. Limerick will need to target the Waterford game in G/G and Cork in PUC both of which are a tall order, as I feel that we simply will not take Clare in Ennis. I cannot see any 'dead rubber' games in Munster.

Yea,I wouldn't be as familiar with Gillane I suppose.Only came across him on the U-21 side and during this league.I think the encouraging thing was that he won plenty of possession Vs Michael Cahill,his decision making from that point probably wasn't his best but I think he was carrying a knock after that early injury.Ye have some very good forwards though.There was the potential for more goals aswell so a bit more ruthlessness and ye will be a force for anyone.

O Meara is a good hurler but had some bad luck with injuries. One for the future, his still under 21 and he was a Minor in 2016. I feel like Alan Dempsey deserves a place but I don't think he was named on the original panel at the start of the year. I thought he played himself into contention with his performances in the All Ireland club championship.

I see you are new here Ray so I am going to cut you some slack and let you away with the inference that I am a Limerick man

proud Tipp man in fact!

I agree with you on the Limerick forwards and when you consider they have Casey and Dowling to come back - your comment about the ruthlessness is spot on and in particular Flanagan at full forward, he had Barry in all sorts of bother but just lacked that little bit of experience and composure to but the nail in the coffin and the two Tipp corner backs bailed Barry out on two seperate ocassions when the goal chance was created, definite potential there though.

As a Tipp man I would be very concerned about the Limerick game, first game always tricky, away to a fast improving team who traditionally have never feared Tipp, its a real potential bananna skin and I think we will need at least two of Noel McGrath, Bubbles and Callinan back and match fit to win.

haha fair enough.Yea,it's a definite banana skin for Tipp.Bonner is also crucially important because he makes that forward line tick and seems to be scoring more this league.Yea,Bubbles will be back hopefully soon to strengthen things.

The amount of soft frees being given in the televised games is ridiculous

Johnny Murphy doing senior all Ireland as well needs to let teams hurl

Agree. Johnny is on the National panel now and needs to let the game flow.
If some of those frees he blew for were in an inter-county game there would be outrage.
Some fine individual displays on both sides though.
