    Presumably its hegarty for player of the year followed by finn and hayes

    Great to win with a good performance from all the players. Composure in possession was so impressive.
    Waterford probably underperformed and the refs approach to let the play "flow" was in our favour, but that Limerick performance meant there was only going to be one outcome today.
    Bottom line is we have top class players, and a couple that could go on to be all time greats, when they are operating at the best or close to it then they are favorites to win, I hope/expect they win another AI in the next few years..
    Hope Mike Casey and Ritchie make a full recovery... Up Limerick!!

    well done lads , great win , great year for limerick gaa , this team probably has one even two more all irelands in them given the age profile ,

    also the two year improvement in kyle hayes , tom morrissy sean finn and gearoid heargety has been frightening

    we all rave about kinnerk up here still but john kiely is probably the best coach i have seen for what he has done with this limerick team and how he has compleatly changed the mentality within the county

    Delighted with the win today. When they get into full flow they're lovely to watch. Always looking for the man in space, some super points from Morrissey. He looks like he's emulating Gillane with the ones he's scoring over the shoulder. On Hegarty, he's a big man which sometimes takes away from some of the sublime touches he shows. Such a skilfull player.
    Was thinking the Championship would have been called off this year but what a sweet Christmas present this is. Luimneach Abú.

    Congrats from a former Leitrim hurler!.....those lads are a credit to their families and County.The way they swarmed around the Waterford player in possession from the off was incessant,I was lucky enough to see the great KK teams of the noughties in Croke Park on big days several time’s....I genuinely feel that this Limerick side would put it up to them in a winner takes all tussle.

    Yere passing,shooting,winning of the dirty ball and fact ye took a few cards to stop Waterford heading for goals in last 20 mins capped a superb display.

    Waterford always needed everything to go right for them to beat ye,was sorry to see de Burca leave the field so early but they can be proud of their years work too.

    Congrats from a deise fan.

    Thought you guys were superb today. Bossed us all over the pitch.

    Not sure if the following comparison will be appreciated but i think this Limerick side are similar to the Kilkenny team that dominated in the naughties.

    Privileged to get to watch these guys, they've elevated themselves to the pantheon of the 1930's team. Might as well make hay now that they're on top, with the age profile they could win another one or two( we won't get greedy!) Certainty they have raised to bar for all Limerick teams coming after, to think where we were early 10's wondering where a Munster championship win would come from.
    Even more encouraged by the minors getting to a Munster final, we should have the basis for some good u20 teams in the next few years, and with talents like English, O'Neill, Kirby, Ryan etc to come through to a good senior team.

    I would say this Limerick team have more than enough potential to challenge the reputation of the great KK team of the naughties. To think that you cobbled together a full back line with English and Casey injured and still won an all Ireland handily. What will happen when you have a full panel I shudder to think. The other thing that the KK team had was ferocious competition for a starting position - you guys have the makings of that and with very fertile underage prospects this will only get better and better. If they can maintain the hunger and the commitment then there's no reason why they won't be contesting most of the next 5-7 all Irelands - whether they win any of them or not is yet to be seen, but I wouldn't be betting against them.

    Congrats gents, superb display. Physicality mixed with superb skill and combined with application is hard to beat. It's a please to see a team use the ball so intelligently as against the drive it up the field tactic and hope a forward can win his own ball.

    Yeah you were wrong about him at halfback. He's an outstanding half back. And he's done very well at fullback aswell.

    Hes a good half back but was a weak link imo, super performance at full back

    Big congrats to the minors on winning the Munster final. Watched it on the radio...... Really enjoyed the commentary on live 95, Shane Dowling in with Mal. Shane practically pucking every ball. Good times continue..

    No he's not.

    Not related at all.
    Eamon Grimes, the captain of the 1973 winning senior team is his Gran-uncle, according to the commentator today.


    P.S. He is some player all right as is Donovan (no relation to Dara by the way)
    Donovan has close Tipp connections ironically.

    Hey all, father missed the minor today, I can see it's up on Stream Sport Ireland for purchase, but I can't see anything indicating it will still be available after the live time. Does anyone know if it's still available to watch anywhere? Seems like it was only available to watch Live, and don't want to waste the €8 if that's the case. Thanks in advance!

    Finally a commentator to match the passion of Liam Aherne! I've known Shane since we were kids, so I've always been a fan of his, but it's not just friendly sentiment - he backs up his efforts with talent and heart.

    Great to see the minors carry off a second Munster title in a row, some great players in that team that could come through to the seniors in time. Mullins is proving himself a good coach/manager, hopefully he is getting Ven the u20s next year for a 3 year term. Things are humming along nicely at the moment at all levels.
    Even though they have been doing well in Munster the minors have been found wanting against Galway and Kilkenny these last few years so hoping they put up a competitive display against Galway next day out.

    Any idea when the 2021 panel will be announced? Who's the prospective additions? The most obvious is cathal o Neill but will he bring him in? He brought Kyle hayes in at that age if not younger iirc. If the season gets pushed back a bit it would be better imo it'd be great to have crowds at the games and I can't see that happening for a while yet with the vaccine rollout happening it might from July or August onwards but who knows

    Don't think there is anyone really at the age to retire but maybe a few of the subs will see it as not worth it anymore

    Mul had a poor enough championship and I think Casey starts ahead of him now. With 2 AIs in the pocket, mul might not fancy a bench spot

    Yes I hope Mulcahy stays on, actually think that impact sub role would suit him well at this stage of his career. No need to be calling it a day yet.
    You would think Tom Condon might decide to pack it in. Looking at the panel there was a fair turn over of panel members so I think we'll see new blood being introduced all the time.

    I could never understand why the gaa were intending to play the inter county so early this yr I do agree with the split season and totally agree club should be after the inter county is finished but considering the virus and the roll out of the vaccine would it not make sense to run both competitions off as late as possible in the yr to give the possibilities of having crowds a chance say intercounty from June to August and club in autumn? I was delighted to hear kiely say what he said the other night. This would be just till the virus is under control next yr they can revert but I wouldn't be sure of playing the all Ireland in mid July.

    Theres no right or wrong here the current situation is so difficult but I'd be doing everything if I was a gaa official to give having crowds the best chance and my thinking hasn't anything to do with money just atmosphere, obviously money is an issue for the gaa

    I suppose the current plan still gives them the option of having the intercounty late in the year if spring goes tits up as is now expected
