    The Munster victories in Thomond are as relevant to the other 5 counties as they are to Limerick.

    The best highlight was for me Limericks semi final performance against Kilkenny in the senior hurling championship. Despite the result it was an unreal display. Declan Hannons shoulder midway through the second half pretty much summed up that match.

    Peter Oโ€™ Mahony is such a warrior. Would hate to play against him. Was huge in the 6N
