Best wishes in the retirement to Graham. From a fine sporting family in Kilmallock, he always left everything on the pitch for his teams; a never leave you down type of a player and exceptionally skillful. Outside of this current group, only one Limerick man had ever earned 5 AI medals (and not all with Limerick), so it is certainly no overstatement to say that Graham Mulcahy is up there with the very best that Limerick has ever fielded. Hope the club career continues well on and is enjoyable for Graham.

A huge thanks to Graeme for his service. Always committed to the cause. And .... he didn't down tools back in 2010.

Replying To CTGAA10:  "I've never known any county board to be so silent o what problem is with Gaelic grounds..have they been asked about the situation??also what has happened with coverage of Gaelic games on local radio even,they used to broadcast games like semi finals but even that is gone now..I've seen matches from every other county on clubber or a counties tv channel but of course nothing from limerick..I don't accept that the proper facilities aren't available at other grounds,they were there for last 3/4 years.."
Why aren't the local print and broadcast media asking these questions?

Bruffgael I honestly don't know do people at the top in limericklisten to the ordinary people at club level anymore..I'm hoping the eye isn't been taken off the ball due to success since 2018..I have heard that there is live coverage of county final on tg4 and the local radio is covering both the premier and senior hurling finals..I've managed to keep up to date over last 6 weeks in cork and Clare due to coverage on local radio..only for local journalists on social media or clubs media updates limerick Gaa was ignored..my parents are elderly,very interested in all Gaa but they have been ringing me during matches to find out what has been happening.

Great servant. Stuck at it the past few years when it was clear he was rarely going to be a starter, but was always a major contributor off the bench or even just as a squad man.
He could have easily packed it in with his medals a couple of years back but stuck at it
Only two left now from 2013 - Quaid and Hannon

David Reidy was on the panel in 2013 also, I was realabily informed by a Dromin Athlacca man a few weeks back!

If Live 95 don't want to broadcast the games Limerick GAA can't force them to unless there a problem between the GAA and 95fm. That radio station has no Interest in the GAA anyway, it's all Munster rugby and Treaty United for them. As for the games being taken out of the Gaelic Grounds I think it's a good thing taken the games around the county to smaller packed venues for a better atmosphere and usually a better game than inside in a big empty stadium.

Updewell,I wouldn't totally disagree on games being played at smaller venues..it does lead to better atmosphere..however looking at all other counties all semis seem to be played at the main county ground..

I am sure that 2010 is his career highlight.

Yeah you could be right there about other counties but having been at the 2 quarter-finals and the Doon/Patrickswell semi-final I thought the atmosphere was much better with the crowd involved throughout unlike a bigger venue where the atmosphere is more sterile. With the crowd involved the game is usually better and closer. Anyway hopefully a good day inside on Sunday with a big crowd for the 2 games, the intermediate game could have more in than the senior.

3 other very interesting finals down for decision.I think st pats will get the better of feenagh but it might be very close..monaleen will probably be fancied to win the other juinor final but I'd give rathkeale a super chance..Croagh will definitely be favourites to get to premier inter..they have been so close in last few years.however they are playing a very dogged bruree team who have got through by being very hard to beat.it it's a battle bruree could win this one..I think bouncers will get the better of Newcastle and I've a slight fancy that doon will get over the line at last against na piarsaigh..hopefully a good weekends hurling ahead.

You'd get big odds on St Pats and Bruree both winning

The people at the top in Linerick Gaa must have there hands full in fairness.
