Replying To Dealer: "Reidy is a very unusual example. He went to Kildare and got back in after leaving the squad entirely. A lot depends on Michael's club form in championship but he's a very hard road. The way that the Limerick panel works at least to me is that the top 26 are nailed on and the remaining 10 are the development prospects. If you're in that bunch for a few years and you're still not cracking the championship squad, then your exposed to the new annual intake of fresh young talent who deserve the opportunity. If you get passed out - you won't last. Interco senior is a tough game and that starts with panel development. JK won't want to retire and leave a massive player vacuum behind him if he can help it." Some lads blossom later. Maybe don't put the work in in their late teens early 20s, live a little and travel a bit, and really go back hard at hurling when they are 24/25, when they are naturally physically better built.

Great weekend of Club Hurling in Limerick , Good starts for for Patrickswell, Kilmalock , Ahane, Mungret,Adare & Ballybrown in the senior. In other grades Na Piarsaigh B, Granagh Ballingarry ,Feohanagh, Caherline & Old Christians had notable wins in this weekends 28 matchs . Well done to who ever produces the weekend programme book that had the 56 teams from 47 clubs listed ( 9 clubs had 2 teams in action ) . There are close on 1700 players names in the programme book for the various clubs which is the pool John Kiely is picking from . Roll on next weekend games.

Great weekend of club hurling and it was great to see our Limerick stars, giving time to the young fans before and after the games. cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 783 - 08/08/2023 15:50:41 2499573 Link
Does anyone know why Bruff pitch no longer gets many games? bruffgael (Limerick) - Posts: 201 - 08/08/2023 19:28:57 2499614 Link
Replying To bruffgael: "Does anyone know why Bruff pitch no longer gets many games?" Kilmallock v Doon. HH v Bruree Had 2 matches last weekend. Depending on the pitch that's probably plenty considering the wet weather???? daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 09/08/2023 09:52:55 2499644 Link

Replying To bruffgael: "It got many more in the past. And afaik it has only 1 game this weekend" There are an awful lot more venues that can accommodate matches now than in the past. Geographically makes sense to send clubs to other venues. Kilmallock will always get more due to 2 stands and seated areas for kids daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 10/08/2023 11:29:40 2499855 Link

Admittedly - Bruff were never overly concerned with improving the spectator facilities there. bruffgael (Limerick) - Posts: 201 - 10/08/2023 15:41:47 2499926 Link

Replying To Knockfiarna: "Big turnaround following the kilmallock loss in thier first game for doon. Last night doon 2_18 patrickswell 2_16 Kilmallock 1-19 Ahane 1-12" Big result for Doon alright.. Be interested in seeing how Kildimo /Pallas get on tonight.. Ahane would have been the game they were targeting so can't really see them getting a result against NaP. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1103 - 11/08/2023 13:52:13 2500069 Link
Senior - Doons 2 point win over Patrickswell was the big result this weekend in Top Senior group with Kilmallock making it 2 out of 2 and Na Piarsaigh beating Kildimo also. In Second Group Ballybrown & Adare look to be the two teams most people fancy to come out and played out an entertaining draw although Monaleen , Mungret & Garryspillane are well in the mix, South Liberties look under pressure. In the other grades Bruff are the only team in premier Inter with 3 wins out of 3 whilst Effin & NCW had important wins. Granagh Ballingarry are the team in form in Intermediate and themselves & Croagh look good to top their groups with Bruree & Murroe the main threats. Feenagh Kilmeedys landslide win over Kileedy & St Patricks win over Castletown were the eye catching results in Junior A matchs . OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 718 - 14/08/2023 11:43:03 2500439 Link

Ominously Kilkenny won the u16A beating us by a goal, though we had some key injuries. And they beat Galway in the u16B final by 17 points. https://kilkennygaa.ie/2023/08/national-development-squads-day-26th-august-2023/ The u14 Tony Forrestal went like this- https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-41213539.html Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13886 - 28/08/2023 08:32:01 2502547 Link
