I've decided to make 1 thread showing a South Liberties Gaa trip down memory lane. It will make it easier for you to read and enjoy rather than sifting thru the various tweets i've put up. Any that has any more information and pictures, by all means please add them. Thanks.
@MartinKiely1 @GaaEast @DavidPunch10 @citywest2011 @LimerickCLG @LimerickGAAzine @MunsterGAA @MattOCall The tweets won't be in chronological order. As I uncover items I will post them up. Some great memories, some not so memorable. But they all add up to make our history.
3rd October 1976 and South Liberties claim their 5th County title and 2nd Daly cup in 4 years after seeing off a tough @killeedygaa team by 3 points. 2-09 to 2-06 in front of 8,000 people.
Jamesie Moynihan and Denis O Sullivan with the vital goals. Walter Shanahan captained.

South Liberties were unable to defend their County crown in 1977. Fast forward a year to 1978 and South Liberties won back the Daly cup with a hard fought 2-09 to 2-05 win over @BrureeGAA Tom Ryan and Michael Butler with the goals.
@patrickswellgaa took the honours in 1979. To 1980 next and Liberties returned to the County Final against @killeedygaa A 2-07 to 1-07 victory gave Killedy their first Daly cup having lost 3 finals @KilmallockGAA 73 @SouthLibertiesG 76 @patrickswellgaa 77 @JamesLundon @whelain
1981 and Liberties returned to the County Final. This time against @KilmallockGAA A late fightback from the Balbec forced a replay.
The replay saw South Liberties claim a 7th County championship and a 4th Daly cup in 9 years. A 4-07 to 2-11 win over @KilmallockGAA The replay was part of a double header with the Limerick Senior football final between @ClaughaunGAA and @NaomhCiarain
Joe Grimes collected the Daly cup as captain of South Liberties. It was his 4th medal.
Having won the @LimerickCLG championship. Another shot at the @MunsterGAA senior club. A semi final vs the kingpins of @GaaClare @NOFGAA played in Newmarket. A tough game and a win to send Saor Theas into a 2nd Munster Senior Club final, this time vs the famed @MountSionGAA
Some of these I originally posted as tweets of their own. Putting them back up so they could form part of the thread.
A 2nd Munster Senior club final appearance for the green and gold. Unfortunately it meant defeat for a 2nd time in a Munster final. @MountSionGAA winning their first Provincial title and a first for a club from @WaterfordGAA Jim Greene inspiring his team to victory.
