Kilkenny’s win in the League final will have no bearing on Sunday’s All-Ireland final
All-Ireland hurling final countdown: Limerick boss in no mood to revisit Nickie Quaid’s contact lens moment
I’ve been to four of those banquets and as a player they’re hard to enjoy. When you lose you feel like you’ve let everyone down and you’re not in the form for meeting people, or talking about the match, or making small talk. People mean well, and they try to pick you up, but you’re just in no form for it.
I went to bed earlier that night than I did after the three All-Irelands we lost. The really enjoyable time was in the bus going home the following day, when the craic was mighty and it was just the players and management, and nobody else.the League final Kilkenny are not going to tie themselves up in knots trying to work out a strategy for Limerick. They’re going to be aggressive in their set-up and savagely aggressive in their play. With every Kilkenny team, work rate and a never-say-die attitude are a given. It might sound simple, but not every team has those qualities.
