its a bit of a mark of the middling hurling championship that Limerick & Waterford who served up the worst Munster Championship match in living memory (ok, slight exaggeration) both end up in the semi.
Limerick did of course have the dream draw (Laois, in fairness) which they nearly threw away. So they enter the semi with no pedigree of note - "there on merit" isnt screaming off the pages, however there's surely 1 game in them and Tipp might coax the best out of them. I'll be shouting for Limerick (will probably go), but if they go out (as they most likely will), I dont think it should be a cause of major anguish.
Giving the footballers a good chance against Meath though long lay off since MF (will attend as I did the final), beyond that Mayo may not be the worst draw either, no hoodoo element, they found it hard to shake off a fairly ordinary Galway team, so who knows. "At the end of the day" its a case of when, not if, they exit - should have nailed the final lads.
