"We are truly living in a golden age of hurling in Limerick. I want to thank the supporters who travelled by trains, planes, buses and cars to create a sea of green at Croke Park today.
"It gave a huge lift to the players. And it was great to see so many enjoying the match at the Big Screen watch party in Pery Square in Limerick city as well.
