So, for me, I think it's been a lacklustre championship today, bar one or two, bar one or two games.
But look, for me, Cork, Limerick, on the banks of the Lee, top two in the game right now, really, really whets the appetite.
So, I think this weekend, I think we're in bad need of a really good weekend of hurling across the three matches.
I don't think we, you know, there's mass affair excitement around the place.
As I would say, it's set up beautifully, lads.
You know, Limerick going down,
For me, I'd say they're going down to the banks of the Lee, trying to beat Cork in their home ground, trying to achieve something that I don't think has ever been achieved by any Limerick team before.
Yeah, extremely difficult to call and we'll delve into that now in a few minutes.
And that's beating Cork in a Munster final on their home soil.
But look, for me, Cork, Limerick, on the banks of the league, top two in the game right now.
I can go back to the last two occasions, 1992.
really, really whets the appetite.
Limerick were league champions I was at that match myself Waterford played in the minor match before against Tipperary Paul Flynn famously you have the picture at the presentation don't you in 92 well that was the league final and you know we were getting excited for the months of final Paul Flynn gave an unbelievable performance in the minor Horton Razor before he scored three sixths
I don't think we, you know, there's massive air excitement around the place.
Look, from a promotional point of view, I think it's a bit disappointing that, you know, this game hasn't been built up.
And I suppose week after week, it probably doesn't allow that.
But I'm hoping that from, you know,
Wednesday on that you know this game will be really built up along with the other two games Galway and Dublin and the Joe McDonagh final with Leash and Caro but it's set up as I would say it's set up beautifully lads you know Limerick going down
against I don't know it was a 3-3 he scored against Tipperary it was a draw and in that match after then the senior final the famous one where I think Thomas Mulcahy I think he hand passed the ball into the back of the net Cork won that one then in 2014 I was on radio duties that day
For me, I'd say they're going down to the banks of the Lee, trying to, you know, beat Cork in their home ground, trying to achieve something that I don't think has ever been achieved by any Limerick team before.
