I'd imagine Clare will use some tactics to counter a team who are overwhelming favourites as you say. Surely anything less is not doing the panel justice?? This will be anything but easy for limerick. Clare will be prepared and know limericks strengths. The whole country does. Clare to win will need goals and and with a potential FF line of o Donnell cunningham and shanagher , the potential is there. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 495 - 22/10/2020 17:32:54 2300304 Link 0 |
Agree height has been an issue with the fullback line. This was clearly shown in the league game against Cork with Casey, Finn and Costello playing. When Cork tried to go through the boys defended at their ease. However once they threw Aidan Walsh on they played more direct and the game turned on its head quickly. It's a simple tactic but very effective. It's been a worry regardless of injuries. Another poster made a few interesting points regarding Boylan. If he's not a natural corner back then hopefully he can become one. Even if our first 3 weren't injured we don't really have depth in that area. It's a pity he doesn't have county experience in that position but I suspect he might be forced to soon, even providing bench cover at the very least Mads (Limerick) - Posts: 220 - 22/10/2020 18:56:37 2300330 Link 0 |
Also expect Clare to bring a Kilkenny ( or even Brian Lohan ) type of intensity from the get -go and it seems like we are already forewarned about this and hopefully prepared accordingly.

I don't buy the argument that because he was underage a centre back, he won't make a county corner back. Most exceptional underage players are in central positions, not in the corners. Richie English is Doon's centre back. He has now earned lots of experience as a senior corner back with Nap and has proven he is quality in that position so to me, he definitely is a prospect there for us.

Is the a chance kiely has one eye on the the tipp game( I know he'd never admit it)and uses his squad like he did against tipp in the round Robin last year we have the strength in depth in all line bar the full back line AlriteBoyRelax (Limerick) - Posts: 93 - 23/10/2020 11:12:16 2300444 Link 0 |
Read my post again, I never said he wont make a county corner back, I said I'd be shocked if he started Sunday or got much game time this year. He may well be a good corner back for Limerick in years to come but he's had very little exposure at league / Munster league level at corner back, I think others in the squad are above him in the pecking order for the full back line this year.

One eye on Tipp? Not a hope any Limerick manager would ever write off Clare in a knockout fixture

I never said write off clare that team or any variation of it would be good enough to beat anybody. Also its not knockout John kiely himself said they would gladly take a second chance if needed

Never. ever underestimate Clare in championship. They play even better when the odds are against them. hamstring (Limerick) - Posts: 314 - 23/10/2020 14:08:44 2300517 Link 0 |
This will be a battle royal on Sunday,make no mistake about it.Clare have great form from their league performances coming into this game....I know it was months ago but same for Limerick.Clare unbeaten in their group which included KK. Limerick haven't a great record in winning in Semple Stadium if my memory serves me.Am really looking fwd to it...it will be hammer and thongs all the way and nothing in it in the end.

Not a hope of kiely looking beyond Clare on Saturday night..Clare I'm sure would love to get one over this limerick team,especially after the hiding last year..Clare look like naming a very strong forward 6 and go after limerick..how they cope with our forwards will be very interesting..what we do know is Browne will follow gillane and discipline will be vital..I'm expecting a really tough physical game and hope limerick pull through by maybe 3 or 4 points..I just hope the weather won't play a major part in deciding the result..

Dan Morrissey named full back and Barry Nash named corner back it will be a challenge for Barry Nash to stay that bit tighter to his man but if any of the Clare full forward line roams out the field Nash will follow them. Byrnes needs a good game while he has a fantastic strike of a ball he has to get more accurate with his shooting. I think main battle of the game will be Cian Lynch vs Tony Kelly, Kelly in my opinion is the heartbeat and the main link between backs and forwards on the Clare team if you curb his influence you go a long way in beating them.

Looks like Boylan and Connolly

Well we have the line up. A lot of posters are right with the prediction of Barry Nash as corner back. Mads (Limerick) - Posts: 220 - 23/10/2020 23:52:00 2300657 Link 0 |
Is Costello injured or just not make the squad? Jerome and o grady covers the full back and o dovonan or o donoghue can play in hb line with some rejigging if necessary. I'd be more worry if it was Tipp but thats definitely a strong 15 with good attaching options from bench so I'm confident for tomorrow.

On the leader it said he was ruled out due to a knock

Very strong team. My first impression is kiely has picked the team on experience and to counter the potential aerial threat of shanagher and Cunningham . The 6 backs are all physically imposing men and above 6 foot. Kiely might have felt it a stretch to play finn out of his position coupled with two starters in inter county championship terms in the full back line in nash and Costello. Costello might even be injured seeing as he is not in 26. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 495 - 24/10/2020 10:26:56 2300683 Link 1 |
