Unreal. Grew up with the dark cloud of this looming over the hurlers. 2018 was special

@@jackasaurasrex It sure was

Im still haunted by it, even last week against cork I couldn't relax until the final whistle

Two years later we got to the final again, but the team was still haunted by this and never looked like winning, nor in 2007. 2018 wiped away all the hurt. Golden times now for Limerick, enjoy it while it lasts.

An incredible end to the match. Gutted for limerick, it took a very long time to get over this.

I think what a lot of people overlook is that Offaly destroyed both Wexford and Kilkenny with two or even three goal blasts and earlier in games in that championship. It is also overlooked that Limerick conceded two goals late in both the games against Cork and Clare and this trend never seem to have been recognised and tackled

@@peadarocoileain902 That’s true, but to do what they did in the last 5 minutes of an All Ireland final , scoring 2-5 to no reply in the space of 5 or 6 minutes with the game virtually gone from them, insane stuff. Was at the Leinster final that year as a Wexford supporter & I never forget John Troy’s flick to Billy Dooley for Ofdalys goal, it was that Offaly team at their brilliant best. Should have followed up in 95 with another All Ireland too, they probably peaked that year against Kilkenny in the Leinster final.

Tinned Tuna sitting in the crowd it was anything but subdued I can assure you, as for the last 5 minutes, that was just something from another planet altogether. To be honest the last 5 minutes against Offaly seemd to spook Limerick for the entire 2nd half against Wexford in 96. 2 absolutely gut wrenching results for the county

CHA ! Look up the channel 'Monaco Gaa' its on there.....

@@denishayes01sound lad!

Joseph Mann took them a long time to get it in fairness. 96 must have been even more galling for them, never came out of the dressing room for the 2nd half and still only lost by 2 points to a Wexford team with 14 men!! That was the one that really set them back for a long number of years. Should have reaped a richer harvest from the 3 in a row u21 team also

But I mean look at Offaly now

Joseph Mann ah yea I know the point your making, so hard to believe that they contested every Leinster final in the 80s, were possibly the most skillful team of the 90s and were still causing a lot of problems up to the early/mid 2000s. Hard to invisage them now in the third teir

‘Its a sad state of affairs alright

Offaly had world class talent, 3 minors in 4 years , the horses were there. that team should have won 3 in a row, discipline cost them. Best team of the 90’s. The team today just don’t even have the basic skills down. Sad, Leinster need them back!

Not in 2021 though.

They reappeared in 2018...any sign of offaly?

Hurling
