THEY DID IT - 4-IN-A-ROW:

G.O.A.T.

Greatest

of All Time.

LUIMNEACH ABÚ: What an amazing All-Ireland final we witnessed last Sunday. In the first half it looked like Kilkenny had the upper hand, no one knew what the second half would bring. However, Limerick settled in and began their comeback. The training and dedication that it takes to win 4-in-a-row titles is unbelievable. John Kiely is one brilliant manager, supported by a great backroom team. He seems to be level-headed, inspirational and a great leader and has influenced the team greatly by his humbleness and passion. Both he and the team have brought us endless hours of enjoyment and pride since 2018. May they enjoy their well deserved victory.
