Gearóid Hegarty has likened his Munster final wonder goal to an out-of-body experience, as the emotions from his red card against Clare erupted.
The 2020 Hurler of the Year’s first half strike ultimately proved the difference in an absorbing encounter, with Limerick grinding out a famous 1-29 to 0-29 victory after extra time.
Hegarty had come into the game under something of a cloud after being sent off in their previous outing against Clare in Ennis. Limerick couldn’t contest the red card as it was for two bookable offences and therefore didn’t result in a suspension, but it was widely agreed that it was a harsh call and would have been rescinded had a hearing been granted.
