Limerick have emerged victorious in the All-Ireland final, securing their first title since 2023. Manager John Kiely expressed his delight at the team's performance, describing it as a 'great satisfaction' and a 'shared sense of joy'. The win marks Limerick's 13th All-Ireland title.
The team's dominant display was characterised by precision, power, and ruthless efficiency, as they starved Galway of oxygen and punished them time and again. Despite previous games not meeting the same standards, Limerick saved their best for last, showcasing their ability to adapt and perform under pressure.
Kiely praised the team's tireless work ethic, crediting the coaching staff, psychologists, and medical team for their role in the team's success. He also acknowledged the players' relentless approach, which paid off as they swept the board in 2026.
Wing-back Diarmaid Byrnes echoed Kiely's sentiments, expressing his pride at winning another title. He reflected on the team's journey, highlighting the challenges they faced in recent years and the sense of unity that has driven them to success.
