- Davy Fitzgerald breaks down what would happen if Kilkenny's four-in-a-row team from the noughties played this current Limerick side.
John Kiely's Limerick made history by equalling Kilkenny and Cork's record of winning four All-Irelands in a row, and have the opportunity next season to go one better.
Waterford manager and hurling legend Davy Fitzgerald was in the studio for the latest episode of the GAA Hour and he was asked who would win between the two sides.
"I do believe that they are the best team I have ever seen playing - them and Kilkenny in the 2000s, them two teams stick out in my head as being the most consistent, as teams that dominated their era.
"Limerick and Kilkenny, if they were to play at their best, those two teams in those generations, so the mid-zeros to the Limerick teams now - I would love to see that game, it would be some game.
"They are two completely different styles. Kilkenny would have been very much direct, although they play very similar where they get loads of bodies back in midfield.
"That's what both teams do, but I think Limerick probably work the ball a lot shorter, they'll either shoot from midfield, or get it deep inside. Limerick will rarely put ball back down the half back line, they will bypass that no matter what the story is.
"It would be a great game but, probably Limerick would just edge it."
There will be a few from that Kilkenny team who wouldn't probably disagree with Fitzgerald on this one, but it's impossible to call. - Sport
I was on the Hill in 2007 as a sixteen year old thinking I’d never see Limerick win an all-Ireland.. we’ll never get tired of this!
I was the match on Sunday and was listening to Davy on the radio, he was brilliant, very insightful and fair.
Davy is a great listen, very passionate but knows his stuff. Hurling needs characters like him.
Davy is a great analyst when he is calm, when he loses it, like Elvis, he leaves the building. However, here he is fantastic. Fair play to him
It must absolutely kill the clare lot to admit we are the greatest ever❤, Worth waiting for.
Limerick won't go away they are the best
People were in the stadium before the game started. That's not the reason the jubilee team didn't have an audience. The 'crowd' was drinking & eating in the concourses. That won't change whether there is a 'minor game' of not.
Davey was an outstanding goal keeper
Well said Davy 😊😊😊
Good lad Davy. Watched you hurl in Croke Park 1989 v. Offaly minors. They bate us (Down) by 5 points in the semi-final that Summer - I was marking (trying to, anyway) Johnny Dooley.
Top interview well done
Limeriçk ABU simply the best team of all time❤
Tom Morrissey 'going down' happened very early in that break in the phase of play. KK had a free & Morrissey went down. He was being treated whilst TJ Reid was lining up the free & scoring. That takes approx 1min. I don't think it's fair to assume Morrissey going down was 'planned' or designed to disrupt the play as the timing didn't look to be timed to delay the game.
If Davy was in charge of Limerick he would have Aaron Gillane playing as a sweeper…
Savage insights from davey
Limerick survived by the skin of their teeth in Munster. Having escaped the Tigers of Munster, they fully deserve the All Ireland title.
Cian Lynch played no full game in Munster. He made a big difference against Galway and a massive one against Kilkenny
We don’t need minor teams cutting up the surface and then it’s not at its best for the senior final. Especially if it’s wet.
That 65 incorrect umpire call was karma for the umpire maby robbing Limerick of the 6 in a row in 2019
The future of hurling is in the hands of the young. If there is an All Ireland hurling final in the year 3000 AD, it will be due mainly to the enthusiasm, dreams hopes, idealism of youth.
Will Limerick or Clare win the All Ireland of 3000AD !!!!!! ?)
Yes KK should have had a 65, but how is it a 2pt swing?
Limk had a puck out from the 'wide' & scored from the puck out.
Limk would have had a puck-out whether the 65 was scored or not.
At most it was a 1pt swing assuming TJ Reid would have scored.
Need to ho back to hedge school to would have scored and hegarthy would not have scored his point
@@tonyflanagan4259 but Limk would still have had a puck-out after the 65. Was this a special 65 that TJ Reid would've taken twice?
It's a bit like Clare's 'disallowed goal' in the semi-final. That wasn't s 3pt swing it was a 2pt swing. The goal was disallowed but the free was pointed.
@39.30 he is talking about " The Clare Times"
haha the clare times getting told by there own!! let em know davy boy!!
Davie,
talking like this.
Without the madness.
It's much better to listen to,
I stopped listening after his first comment “Limerick MAYBE ONE of the best hurling teams ever”. There’s no maybe, they are ONE of the best and MAYBE the best.
To be fair Davy said they are the best, he said they beat Kilkenny from the 00s
get down of yer high horse boy enjoy it why it lasts
BRIAN LOHAN VS DAVEY IN MMA CAGE B4 NEXT YRS FINAL
Gotta love Davy
Does davy watch love island ?

Don’t choke on that Davy as you have no choice but to admit it!
Clare have returned to form….. The whipping boys of Munster 😂😂😂

Hurling legend Davy Fitzgerald GOBSHIT
Waste of space
Hurling needs to address the "throw ball"
