“What a year for hurling,” the Kilkenny giant declared to the former Limerick manager, trying to add some colour to a sad day. There was a huge swell of emotion and that was to be expected, but I wouldn’t be one to buy into it. It was great for Limerick and good for hurling and Limerick brought a freshness to the whole thing but they got the roll of the dice as well. If we go along the same lines of keeping the puckout short and all this bollox, then hurling is not in this safe place they’re talking about. I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just being fearful.”As Limerick head to Wexford tomorrow, he wants the hosts to change their ways.
