CIARAN Carey has described Limerick's All-Ireland hurling win as "spiritually and emotionally a beautiful journey".
The Limerick hurling legend was speaking on Friday night at the Gaelic Writer's Association awards, where he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
"To be fair, watching their journey, your emotions would have been totally different from the beginning to the end of the year." "Definitely by the time they got to Croke Park you could turn around and say, yeah, it was A huge, huge emotional journey, "I'd imagine." "It's all about getting excited about it all year round," explained Ciaran Carey.
"As I said, I thought it would be so, I would imagine." "It was not, they must not be that human!" he said.
Limerick, in my own opinion, was actually dominating and in charge of the field, being honest, watching the game, being the type of game you were enjoying. that we were in control in a lot of areas in the field, really. Especially the full-forward line, I felt 13, 14, and 15 for Limerick had the Galway full back line in serious trouble. it was a bit of a tremor in the last five or six minutes At that stage alright I would have said, 'uh, oh, what's going on here?' Thankfully they were out there and I was in a very good mood, I really do not know if I did not say I was disappointed when I saw Tom Condon coming out with that last ball, "he revealed.
Made all the more special, with his nephew Cian Lynch on the team.
"Without a doubt, yeah, I guess we're lucky in Patrickswell, we always had a very strong representation from our club with Limerick. it certainly has the emotion to a seriously high level compared to "
Carey said that Lynch played with freedom this year.
"I suppose his introduction to seniority was a simple one, where he was going to be most comfortable. out, the big change for me this year watching him, he was hurling with total freedom. Someone who is going out of this world is usually going to say that, "said Carey.
Carey is hoping that Limerick have not reached their pinnacle, but there is no need for the team for 2019.
"We do not want to be squeezed on them, but when you look at the big picture when you look at the average age of the Limerick squad This, I'm sure they'll want a taste of more. All-Ireland champions, and proper order Whoever is the biggest gun in the country, most teams want to have a crack at them to judge themselves personally, and you want to judge yourself against a squad. "
The train Limerick captain said that 2018 had no bearing on his personal disappointments from the 1990s.
"To be honest, '94 and '96 are well and truly gone, I'm at peace, I'm pretty happy with you, I'm pretty, sixties, and seventies. Okay, it's a game, it's a sport, we've done it, we did not cross the line, we did not win it. It is easier to get rid of it and it is easier to get it right, it's a good time we did it all. because Limerick have been starving and crying out for an All-Ireland since 1973. Now they are after doing it, you know, the pressure is off now. There was a huge deal that was made of this, because you would have worn Limerick jersey from '74 to 2018, so that's what they went out to achieve. enormity of it. Myself personally, if they did not win it this year it would emotionally cripple Ciaran Carey or hijack me emotionally, no it would not, "he laughed

I had my diploma at that time.I got tough involved with the hurling then so I was up on the academic side of it.I went back there last year, thank God.It was a fair struggle.The learning part of it was If it was the big stumbling block, I thought it would be a good idea to have it. but thankfully I got plenty of help, and his daughter was still in school.
