Just when you think there is a limit to what this Limerick hurling team can reach, they go out and produce a second-half performance like this. Limerick might have had a second goal five minutes later when Barrett got a block on Gearoid Hegarty. We stopped that in the second half and we were probably a bit more zonal. “Talking to some of the lads there involved with Tipperary, it is a very difficult place to be in the second half when the momentum shifts. Tipp’s second goal on 19 minutes was a real crowd-lifter, helping to instil the belief around the ground that the All-Ireland champions were off cue and under pressure and hurried everywhere.
