We did well to get to the final,overall a good night for limerick soccer despite defeat ,the fitness thing is ongoing Russell needs a backstage clearout next season .it was a masterclass by Buckley tonight,managed the team superbly over the 90mins....plenty player limitations shown up on our side of things and the premier will highlight these regularly if not addressed by the manager.however its been a great season and enjoyed the entertainment tonight.
Because they've never needed to play past 65 minutes before.Quote:

Hall is a great goalkeeper and has probably masked some of Limerick's inferiority in the Pats games.Quote:

Our fullbacks were torn apart last night. Russell all night long, and after Kelly went off they got goals from the right hand side. It wasn't just an issue with the fullbacks though, they were asked to do too much in the second half as the rest of the team tired and we had less and less possession.
Williams might have been a full back a couple of years ago but not at his current weight.
