Episode 1919: All-Ireland Hurling Final Preview – Limerick’s Quest For Greatness, Waterford’s Long Wait

It was always going to be an All-Ireland hurling final like no other, given the fact we’re in December, and there was never going to be 82,000 people at Croke Park. Throw in the fact that it’s a final between two counties that have never met at this stage before, and you have a final to really savour.

Jamie Wall and Michael Duignan are back together to look at the match-ups Waterford need to get right, the frame of mind they need to be in to play with freedom, and we discuss Limerick’s key strengths, and come to a definitive conclusion on the winner.

This is me & @bercarley after the first time we spoke in Feb 19. We got on so well (even if this photo does look like I’m needily overdoing the hug) & she was incredibly welcoming & supportive. Love that I ended up back in her house at the end of the series. Episode 10 out now?? pic.twitter.com/BWeQAtWDVK
