“These three players are irreplaceable for Limerick” – Michael Ryan

Michael Ryan reveals the three players that are irreplaceable for Limerick, as they begin their championship-four-in-a-row bid

Michael Ryan reveals the three players that are irreplaceable for Limerick, as they begin their championship-four-in-a-row bid.

Limerick claimed an All-Ireland three-in-a-row in 2022 despite the absence of two-time Hurler of the Year Cian Lynch.

The Patrickswell man is roundly considered to be one of โ€” if not the โ€” best players in the modern game, and yet the Treaty marched on.

Peter Casey was also out of action as Limerick retained their All-Ireland title, and would be considered a key man in any other side.

Of course, both players are major parts of John Kiely’s plans, but former Waterford manager Michael Ryan believes that a trio of other players would be harder to replace.
