WATCH: Limerick fans erupt as hero hurlers win four-in-a-row

There was a sense of nervousness in the crowd as the whistle blew on the first half but the crowd tried their best to make sure they could be heard from Dublin. 

Young and old could be seen dancing and jumping for joy as the final whistle blew and Limerick were crowned All-Ireland champions for the fourth year in a row. 

Excitement has been building in the city for weeks, and hundreds of fans made sure not to miss any of Sunday's action.
