Limerick create history on Sunday THIS Limerick team has once again created history. On Sunday Limerick won their sixth Munster title in-a-row which no county in Munster has ever achieved.
One of most impressive statistics from Sunday’s victory for Limerick is that John Kiely and his team have a 100% record in finals during his time in charge of the team, which has resulted in the Shannonsiders’ claiming 14 trophies since 2018. These final wins include Allianz League, Munster senior finals as well as All-Ireland senior hurling deciders. Quite a tally.
Limerick’s fast start to the second half THE teams went in to the dressing rooms deadlocked at the interval of Sunday's final courtesy of a late Peter Duggan goal right before half-time to leave the score at 1-10 to 0-13. Straight after half-time Limerick came out in flying fashion, racing into a four point lead with points from Aaron Gillane, Shane O’Brien, Tom Morrissey and Cathal O�.
