Séamus Hickey insists that Limerick are not a dirty team as the spotlight focuses on their discipline after last weekend’s defeat to Galway.
The game swung on a red card issued to Gearoid Hegarty for striking Joseph Cooney, with RTE pundit Donal Og Cusack commenting after the game that the 2020 Hurler of the Year had it “coming to him for a while”, as well as questioning Limerick’s overall discipline.
In last year’s Munster final win over Tipperary Aaron Gillane and Seamus Flanagan were fortunate to avoid red cards, Peter Casey was sent off in the All-Ireland semi-final against Waterford though, to the surprise of many, the decision overturned ahead of the final.
