WATCH: Iain Corbett says its time for players to ‘step it up’ for Limerick

20 May 2012.

Limerick 2-12 : Waterford 0-7.

This was the last time Limerick won a Munster championship game with Cork overcoming the Treaty men in 2013, Tipperary in 2014 and Clare victorious in each year since.

However, under Billy Lee, the Limerick team has made some strides over the past 18-months and come into the Munster championship this year with plenty of positives to take from the League campaign.

Speaking at the launch of the 2019 Munster Football and Hurling championships, Limerick football captain Iain Corbett said;

“You have to take the positives out of the league and look at where we came up short as well. I think performance wise it was a decent enough league. Fairly close and competitive in most games. Just having been taking our chances in some games and that’s leaving us a bit short.”

This Limerick team has been building for a couple of years now with plenty of integration of underage talent by Lee.

Yet, results are needed by Limerick with clash with Tipperary Saturday providing the perfect opportunity for players to ‘step-up’.

“That’s maybe the issue, we’ve been saying that for maybe the last three years now so it’s time for lads to step up. There’s a lot of lads coming of age.”
