Nicky Quaid will be a huge loss in 2025 , will make regaining Liam McCarthy more difficult, Could be hard to stop Cork in 2025.
Limerick playing Antrim tomorrow night ( not sure of venue ) In challenge match , Antrim playing a number of games in mid west over 4 days , Limerick , Clare & Sixmilebridge amongst the opponent's.

Ya there is no doubt Nicky will be a massive loss, the best keeper in the counrty for the last decade IMO. I still think Jason Gillane holds the no. 1 jersey at the moment but have a felling Kiely isnt his biggest fan. When I was announced that Shane Dowling was back on the panel as a GK I must admit I was set against the idea but chatting to a few lads over the Chritmas who would know a lot more than me I am warming to the idea.
I have siad on this platform before and I am going to stick to it, Conor Hanley Clark is the future for Limerick hurling (as GK). I was so impressed with him for the U20s and with UL last year. hes has an unbeleavible pair of hands and his stricking is a joy to watch. I would say he will spent this year gaining experiance and wont see a whole pile of game time.

Nickie is a huge loss, however at least we know about it now, with time to prepare and select the best next man up. I think the fight amongst the three goalies for the starting position is one of the things, I'm most interested in watching over the course of the league.

I do feel we are blessed with forwards we have currently and we can compete with anyone on that front. I am happy with the midfield options we have also have. I would like to see more fellas putting pressure on the on the incumbents on the half back line and full back line however. While Morrissey, Nash, Byrnes, Hannon and Hayes are fantastic, if we are missing any one of them for any reason our defence would be weakened significantly (Nash was a massive loss in the All Ireland Semi Final) . I would love to see somebody put their hand up and put real pressure on them over the course of beacuse of the mileage on them I feel they are more prone to injury or absence.
