Limerick haven't made it onto the big hurling stage too many times in recent years. They won the All Ireland Senior Hurling title in 1940 but had to wait until 1973 to win it again. And that was the last win though they did make the final 4 more times since then - 1974, 1980, 1994 and 1996. Appreciate the infamous day in '73 when they beat reigning champions Kilkenny in the final - with the distinctive voice of Micheal O'Hehir speaking so eloquently of great players like Richie Bennis, Eamon Cregan and that speech from Eamon Grimes.
The picture quality isn't great but Limerick fans won't care!
