2024 was a phenomenal year for sport in Ireland but it was an almighty year for hurling.
A Cork v Limerick game for the ages in the Pairc on a Saturday night.
A sixth Limerick Munster win in a row.
A second Cork v Limerick game for the ages, this time in Croke Park which left the Limerick drive-for-five derailed.
And one of the wildest All-Ireland finals of all-time, in which Brian Lohan's Clare team finally got over the line and sent Liam MacCarthy back to the Banner county.
Along the way there was also an unforgettable win for Offaly in the U20 Championship, as well as Joe McDonagh glory for the Faithful County, and a wide-open club Championship.
