(or 4th in 80 yrs if you want to be precise)

Reading a fair few of the comments on here.. The reason behind our success is as follows.

1, JP McManus money. (bought success, even though he's sponsored Limerick for about 20 yrs not just since 2018)

2. Limerick are too big.. Try telling that to Peter Casey, Cian Lynch, Graeme Mulcahy or Sean Finn.

3. Limerick are cynical ie: we don't let the opposition score against us..
Unlike Tipp or Kilkenny who won all Irelands through sheer brilliance and nothing else.

4. Our style of hurling is boring... We tried the whole, belt the ball up the pitch and watch it come back again just as quickly... Style of hurling. It didn't really work out too well for us.

5. The best yet.. Good coaching and strength and conditioning has taken average hurlers and made them all Ireland winners.. No response possible.

6. Limerick are unbeatable ( I feckin wish)

Fact remains, after a horrendous beating at the hands of Tipperary in the all Ireland semi finals 11 yrs ago, a players strike 10 yrs ago and years in the wasteland of division 1B (or division 2) we got our act together, set up an academy for young players , put resources into cultivating talent and we're fortunate to have an excellent management team gel it all together...

As Limerick hurling supporters we've seen enough misery to last a lifetime. These days won't last but we'll enjoy every minute of it while they do.

So Thanks to JP McManus, John Kiely, Paul Kinnerk (and the few 100 in their back room team:)
Thanks to the players who gave so much of themselves to give us an amazing Christmas present.
Hopefully we'll have an uninterrupted 2021 Championship, stay safe and Happy Christmas.
Luimneach Abu!!"

Replying To skillet:  "Thank you.. I really was afraid I'd never see us win a senior all Ireland, so to see 2 in 3 yrs is a dream come true.
I remember the envy I felt when you won the 2 all Irelands in the nineties and we lost 2, i was delighted for Clare especially in 95, even though ye beat us in the munster final but devastated by 94 especially.
I actually think it was only 2018 finally exorcised those memories.

Hurling needs new winners on a regular basis. That's why hopefully Clare, Wexford, Waterford etc will win again soon.

As a rule i don't really get too bothered by anonymous posters but I know a few lads involved in setting up the academy originally and the colossal hard work put in to make these days happen.. Just annoyed me the lazy reaction of ah without JPs money you'd win nothing."

Replying To bennybunny:  "Enjoy your win. I don't hear any begrudging. Not down here. I felt ye had been coming for a good few years. Thought ye would win in 13 semi final but Clare deservedly won. Ye played Kilkenny the year after in the lashing rain and outscored them but their goals allowed them to scrape through. The team is a while in the making, forming, evolving (very different to those 13/14 teams now). No surprise ye are winning. Ye will be there or thereabouts for a long while yet."
