And I was expecting Fitzgibbon then to go over on Burns, but no, they didn't.

They elected to go with Barry Welsh on Burns.

But the position of Fitzgibbon

was kind of tying with Kyle Hayes.

He was coming back really, really deep.

And you know the way Limerick like to keep that line, like to keep their zonal structure in place.

And what that was doing was saying, right, Hayes was leaving, Fitzgibbon go back.

And I think actually Fitzgibbon

in the space of about a 5-10 minute period he got two bombs from way out the field and then I was asking the question to Kyle Hayes well then are you going to sit or are you going to come and follow and on one or two occasions then Kyle Hayes started to drift out the field and the gaps started to appear and particularly in that second half

Cork were excellent when Limerick went down to 14 men.

I've got to give great credit to Owen Downey.

Wouldn't have been picked up on the TV...

Hagerty was getting a bit of joy off of Downey but as soon as Limerick went down to 14 men Owen Downey started to commit himself forward so then he was posing the question to Hagerty right are you going to come and follow me so Hagerty then had to go then and follow Owen Downey and track

Owen Downie but Owen Downie was very clever in doing that because he knew then that he had the cover of knowing that Rob Downie was back in the pocket as the spare man and I actually think Owen Downie in that period in the second half got a great score and that's something Clark are definitely working on on the training field

Limerick committed Kyle Hayes forward and Kyle Hayes got on a ball and he kind of checked into his right and checked back into his left.

It was a massive, massive moment.

I mean, it barely went tail off to the right way.

If that goes over the bar...

they pulled the trigger on Seamus Flanagan a bit too soon, like, you know, I mean, you know, he's experienced, you know, I did a night with him there two weeks ago and, you know, he wanted to stay on, like, you know, a man of his experience, particularly with Galan gone now.

No, sorry, he's still only 28.
