what a lovely man nicky brennan is. a great gaa man and his knowledge of hurling and indeed camogie is unreal.

[@paulgoodwin3506]

4 in a row 5 in a row in Munster and won the league what a season the best ever 💚

Let's be honest folks, what KK experienced was one misscheduled wedding on Saturday (all the KK lads were at it), and a funeral on Sunday.

[@fonz114]

The guy on the left is sour. Mentioning JP McManus right after that incredible second half performance says you are bitter deep down. 😂

[@dechardy3093]

How is that bitter...jp and limerick might as well be man City and ethiad airways

[@colmcronin7306]

​@@dechardy3093except theres no transfer market you muppet - that's a terrible analogy. But lovin' the tears man

[@MegaJw99]

KK took their hammering fair and square .Lucky for GAA, if Clare had gotten to final imagine amount of diving and flopping and sleaze they'd bring while LK pasted them varmints. Disgraced the occasion and weren't even there So sad

[@jimmy229]

Tks for a great season boys 👍

[@brysonpieters8943]

TJ and Eoin Cody didnt turn up lads along with Mikey Butler 5 points off him Casey took him for 3 and he conceded 2 frees which were scored. Hard to win when 3 big players dont turn up on the biggest day

[@liamb0142]

Infairness Cody went well in the first half. And Casey was only on butler when the games was effectively over

[@liamb0142]

As a kk person more worried about the half foward line

[@quaidbergo]

Good show lads. I love all the spades getting called spades every week 😂 Gillane HOTY (Hayes pushing him close) and Cathal O'Neill YHOTY.

[@dannymac1793]

Lots of experts said injuries are the only thing that can stop Limerick that isn't even stopping them now, a clean sweep season equals 8 allstars i think

[@michaelreddan3820]

Limerick have to go to cork and ennis next season, tough ask, but if they get out of munster the 5 in a row is on, but its a big if

[@brianhourigan]

This Limerick team have excellent record in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, in fact I'd say it's one of the two pitches that suit their game (along with Croker). Ennis is only a problem if Clare are doing well, it's hard to know with Clare.

[@gerardodwyer5908]

It's been a "big if" since 2018. And yet Limerick always find the answer.

[@peadarocoileain902]

@@brianhourigan If Finn and Hannon are fit and Lynch remains unscathed for the next twelve months they will be hard to beat, but of course you never know.

[@tommylawler5286]

Kyle Hayes was my man of the match all day, heart of a lion.....

[@eddiemcloughlin3200]

Lynch was immense as well, especially those 10 minutes before half time.

[@cuhulainsblood]

Limericks key to beating Kilkenny came from two important points I haven't heard anyone discuss. How to out do kilkennys ferocious "Tyrone" style tackling. Win the ball immediately give it to support players. Limerick do this perfectly. Pass around 2 or 3 times as quickly as you can untill a little bit of space is created and then burst forward. Kilkenny tried to track numbers back when Limerick were attacking. Limerick over comes this by scoring long range points from around the 65 sidelines. There's always a little bit of space there. This is something they clearly have worked on in the training field. Some of Limericks long range points were a joy to behold.

[@dechardy3093]

And that was called puke football

[@Kevin_Ireland]

Great show lads

[@jimmy229]

Brilliant from Nicky

[@michaelreddan3820]

58 years since tipp went back to back, but you have the famous 1 in a row, never contested 4 munster finals in a row, only one of big 3 that never won 4 in a row, never even contested 4 all irelands in a row, but tipp have classier hurlers than limerick 😂

Michael, much prefer the hair when it looks like you have bben pulled through a thorn bush backwards. The choir boy cut for your day out at Croker is a choker or a shocker.

[@rt9934]

@Liamy Bourke said as he Came out of Croker yesterday got a text from a friend from Clare telling me they’d have beaten Limerick yesterday. Hey Liamy find out what he is smokin.. cause it must be some serious shit man!

[@tonykavanagh4850]

after the drama with the ball going the net im sure a few laois hurling supporters remembered the opposite happening back in the 80s as in the ball going into the net from the other side of it v offaly? the difference was the "goal" was allowed !! was the difference in winning and losing basically.

[@tomasryan6994]

[@thomascoady3782]

Are the GAA running the All-Ireland’s off in July to facilitate live concerts being run in the better weather. They easily facilitated other groups/organisations during the Covid impositions but it looks like the GAA players and supporters are not given the priority they deserve. Has it come down to money at the cost of our great GAA culture. The lads here are pointing out these issues so I hope the GAA top brass take these concerns on board.

[@peadarocoileain902]

But Tipp have lost to them in seven of their last eleven meetings and look at their poor performance against Galway.

[@dechardy3093]

I would not yet compare them to other great teams yet....kilkenny might have had it easy in leinster but they were coming up against strong Tipp Galway Cork and Waterford teams and none of these teams are strong now along with a kilkenny team who are at best average.

[@raymondgilbourne112]

In KK's '4-in-a-row' they beat a very average Limk team in 2007 that were lucky to get to the final. The 2008 win was against a Waterford team that for some reason no-one has ever done a dive into the mayhem of the prep & the chaos in the dressing-room before taking to the field. The 2009 win was due largely to a vert soft penalty award - I remember it well. Had KK backed to cover the hcp & they were going to lose the game before the penalty. Those looking back on the KK team of 2006-09 are doing so through the lenses of very ruddy rose-tinted glasses.

[@peadarocoileain902]

@@raymondgilbourne112 And in 2996 they only beat a now weakening Cork team that could beat a very Limerick team by a point and Waterford by the same amount.

[@raymondgilbourne112]

Current Limk team are 'the best ever' but I expect that in 10yrs time we'll watch videos of this team & we'll be shocked at how 'bad' they are. Tonight I watched the 1973 final - with greats like Cregan, Grimes, McKenna, Hartigan, Henderson, Delaney, Cody, Skehan etc. The standard was appalling. Then watched the 2004 final. It was significantly better than 1973 but well off the modern standards. Whilst the current Limk team are unmatched by anything that has proceeded them what will come will surpass them by a significant degree.
