LIMERICK DO NOT have fond memories of Croke Park.
The Munster side have won just four times in forty years at headquarters, with two of those successes coming against Antrim.
Their record against Kilkenny is equally as bad with the 1973 final the last time the Shannonsiders recorded a win over the Leinster champions in the championship which goes some way to explaining why Brian Cody’s men are 4/9 favourites for today’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final.
However, TJ Ryan’s charges are not without their chances, their comprehensive win over Wexford was the performance of the championship and Limerick hope to build on their goal-scoring prowess that day.
So, what we want to know is, who do you think will win today’s semi-final?

Think Kilkenny will win but I hope Limerick do.
If Limerick dont win I hope Kilkenny do.
I can see this panning out one of three ways.
31 counties want Limerick to win today – c’mon Limerick!
Is that just jealously I wonder ?
Have to go with my county my head go for the cats.
The cats will ate em
Downes and Hannon to be much more prominent for the. Shannonsiders today. Will go right to the wire and Limerick to prevail. PS – the counties didn’t meet for 33 yrs in the championship – between 1974 and 2007
Hope limerick but I think kk will! although I wouldn’t mind seen another tipp v kk final if we beat cork! 2009 n 10 finals will live long in the memory
Never liked Limerick much as a hurling county. However I have to say tj ryan has impressed me greatly. His post match interviews are honest and some bit interesting. The one thing they’ve added to their game is goals and if they can get a few today you never know.
Did u prefer it as a football county ?
No
After reading numerous articles and analysing the opinions of experts I have arrived at a conclusive opinion as to what will happen in this game. I think the team that scores the most points will win.
Limerick to win, Limerick to win. Up the rebels…
If Limerick win today, I hope they go on and win in September. However, Cats should win by 5/6 points.
