Sligo will be the clear favourites now with Pat's their likely opponents in the final. I hope Limerick get to the final but they face a tough task away to Shels and if they were to somehow to get through there they'll then have Pat's coming to Limerick.

Joe Gamble is out for it and it's what Limerick hoped for so that might say something about what kind of a team we will put out. In fairness though we had a weakened team against Bray and got through. Will be interesting to see how the younger lads get on if they go out and give it a lash.

...and then score in the last minute.

Interesting to hear Limerick will play their semi-final in Thomond Park if they get that far. I was thinking when I heard the draw they would make that move. It'll be great to see them get the chance and really promote the club in the city and county.

Shels 2-0 up and playing well it sounds going off Shelsweb. A much needed confidence boost if we win with a good performance.

**TiocfaidhArmani** · 03/10/2011, 8:39 PM

Shels 4-1 - Pats here we come!

**sligoman** · 03/10/2011, 8:42 PM

4-2 now.

**BonnieShels** · 03/10/2011, 8:53 PM

4-3 to us now. Ffs

**BonnieShels** · 03/10/2011, 8:55 PM

All over. Thanks be to Jaysus

4-3 FT

Unlucky Shels, you tried again but Limerick just weren't good enough to take advantage.

**holidaysong** · 03/10/2011, 9:21 PM

A bit like yourselves and the Albanians so.

Interesting early-nineties style 3-5-2 from Shels tonight. Worked because Limerick were unable to counter Shels' width and greater numbers in the centre. A different manager than Scully might have gone 4-3-3 in response to fill the midfield and occupy Shels' 3-man defence. As it was it, it took Shels to go 4-1 up before he changed formation.

Lims deffo missed Gamble - would have been a different game, I guess.

The re-appearance of Stephen O'Flynn alone was worth the price of the ticket. His play for Lims' second goal was devastating - he's an animal.

Shels' defence is absolutely not working these days.
