Declan Hannon has "every chance" of making history by becoming hurling's first four in a row All-Ireland winning captain after Limerick's nine point semi-final victory over Galway.
Hannon was ruled out of yesterday's 2-24 to 1-18 triumph at Croke Park after suffering a knee injury the Munster final win against Clare.
With Will O'Donoghue deputising at centre-back, the Treaty County made a storming comeback from six points down after 25 minutes to trail by a point at the break, before utterly dominating the second half as Aaron Gillane grabbed two goals.
