It was very much a smash and grab against Clare, but you still look at it and you have a league title, a Munster title and come Sunday, you could have an All-Ireland title."It's another season where it hasn't been such a high standard, it can still be an immense season and one of the best they have had should they win."Galway v LimerickAll-Ireland SHC finalSunday, 19 July, 15:30 BSTCroke ParkWatch on iPlayerWatch live on BBC Two, BBC Sport website & app from 15:00When John Kiely's men made the breakthrough in 2018 to end...
