Pat Ryan

I think, Mo, you had Seamus Prendergast in front of you there for a couple of years.

with Watford and he would have kind of no shame as well out to Hurling but winning high ball you know what I mean and I remember even 2008 he would always he'd hit his man before the ball was even thrown in you know what I mean he'd be setting the tone them kind of players so William is absolutely huge but in a game like this in the quality of the two teams I know in preview nights and different things you'll be talking about which is the one player that makes a difference that's all 15 v 15 here he's absolutely huge one weak link here in the chain on either team

will be the cause of where you you know where you can get fierce joy so it's absolutely huge we could go through all 15 but the William on Shane Barrett one is absolutely massive and also how William will maybe sit back and protect that because the Cork full forward line is absolutely ripping it up at the moment William Buckley lads is I just he's a very enjoyable player to watch he's some touch pa hasn't he

his touch is outrageous but I think to come into this team and basically I know he was maybe involved but his first full year playing you know Intercontinental and to do what he's done even to go through four round robins and even to keep his place for all four games when the competition that's on the bench you know

how easily it could have been where if he just dropped off for one day bang he could have been out you know what I mean like Shane O'Brien was to me was one of Limerick's best players the first day against Cork unlimited possession he got four points of play the second day against Clare I thought he should have got man of the match he got six points from play the third day then against Watford his performance came down what happened then against Tiplitz he was out yeah

it was actually tip that started that boomer to the D remember Bubba's the wire got an unreal goal against them right in the first half right top hand corner didn't give Nicky a chance they were both from the same they got two goals the same day high balls coming down full forward coming out knocking it down and then Cork Pat Ryan you know Pat Ryan ended up in the senior county job in Cork a year or two later and really brought that to the fore with Brian Hayes coming out and obviously the pace in the half forward so we'll definitely see that tried anyway because they're quite good down there with the runners they have

you know so I'm just saying that's how the margins here especially for these teams and who you have on the bench I've just been so impressed with William Buckley and he's another one I think I've seen someone said he's under 22 as well someone said in one of the comments that you know that he's we were going through all 30 stacked isn't it

It's incredibly stacked, you know.

So, yeah, William O'Donoghue, massive player.

Whoever comes out on top, if he can hold Shane Barrett like he did in the league final, we have a great chance, Limerick have a great chance to win this game.

Well, you know, it's just funny.

It was more the fellas out on the middle of the field.

And if you remember, Jason Ford was that man who came out.

Yeah, and if there's one man that doesn't mind doing a dirty job, it's Daryl Donovan, you know, as well in terms of off the ball.

And Jason Ford got six points from play in the first half.

He finished with seven points from play in that game in the Munster final, which is some shooting.

And he wants to be able to impact the game.

Sometimes when fellas play really well in games, they lose, it gets forgotten about.

You'll often hear me saying this, two types of in-game when you're playing hurling, when you're on the ball and when you're off the ball.

And Daryl Donovan is so great off the ball because he's always trying to impact the game when he doesn't have position.
