On Sunday a 45 year wait was ended, and on Monday it was celebrated as the victorious Limerick team brought the Liam McCarthy back to the county. In the run up to the team's arrival at the Gaelic Grounds Limerick hurling legend Richie Bennis revealed his delight at the end of his county's drought, telling RTE that he will be more than happy to pass the guard on to the team of 2018:

I am delighted, it's a weight off our shoulders.

According to Gardai reports between 80,000 and 90,000 people turned out to welcome the team home, with the excitement palpable from all of the videos surfacing on social media:
