What happened: Nickie Quaid, Seán Finn, Diarmaid Byrnes, Kyle Hayes, Adam English, Gearóid Hegarty, Aidan O’Connor and Peter Casey are viewed as established All-Star contenders. Tom Morrissey, Barry Nash, William O’Donoghue, Darragh O’Donovan, Cian Lynch and Cathal O’Neill could strengthen their cases in the final.
Why it matters: Limerick’s 1-21 to 1-19 semi-final victory secured another chance to shape the season’s individual awards. Strong performances in the championship decider could turn borderline candidacies into selections.
By the numbers: Limerick finished the semi-final with 1-5 unanswered after trailing 1-19 to 0-16. O’Connor scored the decisive 71st-minute goal, while Quaid made a late save to preserve the two-point win.
What to watch: The All-Ireland final on July 19 will provide the last major evidence for selectors.
