Colm Keys: Dublin deserve all the credit for biggest shock but Limerick really took their eye off the ball

Less than two minutes into Saturday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final, Limerick’s Aaron Gillane stood over a free 35 metres out to the left side of the Hill 16 end goals.
Not Gillane’s preferred side maybe but that’s rarely been a problem before. He hit it wide though, narrowly, and Hawk-Eye didn’t reverse it. It felt casual and somewhat symbolic of much of Limerick’s play that followed, really until it was too late.
