LIMERICK RATINGS

N QUAID

9 Top quality puck outs, short and long. Barely gave one away, and made no mistakes.

S FINN

9 His fourth star was already well on the way and this copper fastened it.

D MORRISSEY

8 An absolute rock at full back. A couple of spectacular catches set his side on the attack.

B NASH 0-1

8 Cork tried to expose him with Seamus Harnedy and Robbie O’flynn, but he was up to it.

D BYRNES 0-2, 1F

8 Cork kept switching their half forwards, but it didn’t faze the Patrickswell powerhouse.

D HANNON 0-2

8 His best year for Limerick, particularly in the All-ireland series. Did his job very well.

K HAYES

8 Always an option out on the left and used the ball well. Hard to believe he is still just 23.

W O’DONOGHUE

8 The All Star he should have got last year is on its way this year. Immense in midfield.

D O’DONOVAN 0-1

9 A monster of a game. Uncompromising in the tackle, works his socks off, uses the ball well.

G HEGARTY 2-2

9 A force of nature. He plundered 2-2 from play in the first half. Could have had another 1-1.

C LYNCH 0-6

10 What a display from Lynch. Perhaps his finest hour and there have been a few.

T MORRISSEY 0-3

8 Another outstanding display and another outstanding season from the Ahane man.

A GILLANE 1-6, 3F

9 The Patrickswell man just does the business every single day he goes out there.

S FLANAGAN 0-1

8 Appeared to be involved in everything and caused Robert Downey all sorts of bother.

P CASEY 0-5

9 Niall O’leary didn’t know what to do with him. Dummies, shimmies, the whole lot.
