Kilkenny invented the dynamic for much of what Limerick pride themselves on
The greatest team of all time is a contested space again. The common ground is not hard to stake out: livid aggression; dominance in the air; the capacity to execute every skill under withering pressure; tackling and turnovers, at industrial levels of output.
The greatest thing they have in common, though, is culture. Players who have retired from the Limerick squad in recent years have described a training environment calibrated to be more demanding than anything they will encounter in a match. That is precisely what Cody created in Nowlan Park. In New Zealand the causes were interrogated at length, in every forum imaginable, and one of the simple conclusions they reached was that they needed to find “more intelligent players, with enhanced perception, and better decision-making skills.”
In that game, they nearly blew a seven-point lead; against Waterford they allowed an eight-point lead to evaporate. Galway led them by six points in Croke Park. Clare beat them in the round robin. This summer, we saw them through a different lens.
