Sporting Limerick

Kieran Kingston reacts to Cork's loss to Limerick "We were under no illusions coming up here. . . you could see in the first half, our lads looked a small bit shell shocked in some ways"

Limerick’s wait for a win in the National Hurling League came to an end over the weekend as they were comfortable 0-33 to 2-19 winners in the LIT Gaelic Grounds. After a weekend without a game, the All-Ireland champions looked back to their imperious best as they put an under strength Rebel side to the sword. Kiely’s men raced into an early five point lead and were ten to the good at the interval. Cork were much improved in the second period but Limerick were full value for the eight-point win. Reflecting on the win, Kiely was pleased to see his side continue to improve on their early 2021 performances.

Pat Ryan’s Limerick senior camogie team pushed reigning All-Ireland champions Kilkenny all the way but eventually came up short in a pulsating league quarter-final in Birr. Leading at the first water break and the half, Ryan’s side looked posied for a big upset but were made to pay by the champions whose efficiency pulled them over the line. Although disappointed with the result, Ryan says there is plenty of learning to take from the loss.

They’re ahead of their time in terms of maturity and the future of Limerick camogie looks good if these girls can be looked after and kept at it.” Junior Camogie Manager Pat Ryan was pleased with the manner of his sides win over Waterford that sealed a place in the knockout stages of Division 3 of the National Camogie League. #SportLK

"To come out of places like this and consolidate Division 3, you've got to have the bit between your teeth and the gumption in your brain to be ready for the battle. The speed of the game moves up and the intensity goes up." "I'm delighted for them, they're young men, they're trying to challenge themselves and they continue to do that." Limerick Senior Football Manager Billy Lee was delighted in his sides performance in Aughrim that moved them into the Division 3 semi-finals against Derry! #SportLK

“We have a game under our belts now and it is a quick turnaround with another game in seven days in the Gaelic Grounds. “There’s always room for improvement but when we look back on the video tonight, there will be a lot of unforced errors. We conceded a lot from that. Its something we tried to cut out last year and we will have to continue to work on it. If we cut 50% of that out it will make a huge difference." Limerick Ladies Football Manager Donal Ryan happy to get a game under the belt after loss to Offaly in League opener. #SportLK

“We battled hard but you have to take all your chances against Galway and we didn’t do that today. But look it was a great match to get ahead of a quarter-final next week. That’s what it is all about and we will lift ourselves for that next week!” Pat Ryan reflects on his sides loss to Galway which sets up a quarter-final clash with Kilkenny! #SportLK
