IT’S now a week ago but it feels like yesterday that Limerick won their sixth All-Ireland final in just nine seasons.
Relive some of the magic of last Sunday and the following days with photos of those who know the players and management best - their nearest and dearest.
It is no surprise that every All-Ireland winning captain thanks especially the wives and partners in their speeches on the Hogan Stand because they see the sacrifices that are made - the winter nights training, the matches at weekends, watching diets, recovering from injuries and a million other things only they see.
What a week it’s been.
Luimneach Ábu!
