We're all set for a cracker of a summer as hurling fans look forward to this year's All-Ireland Championship.
With Limerick dominating a winter All-Ireland in 2020, the Treaty men stumbled through their league campaign but finished well to remind rivals that they're still the team to beat.
And there's plenty of rivals that'll be queuing up to dethrone John Kiely's side, with both the Leinster and Munster Championships hard to call.
There's an array of young stars looking to make their mark at the top level after last weekend's opening weekend.
Here's five young players who could have a big summer ahead of them:
Jack O'Connor
Cork enjoyed a revitalising league campaign as they sent a warning shot to their Munster rivals, and much of it can be accredited to the young forward.
The 22-year-old offers phenomenal pace and has a real eye for goal if the Cork midfielders can get the ball into his hands in the inside line.
He scored four goals in their league campaign, and you'd expect him to feature against All-Ireland champions Limerick in the Munster semi-final.
Iarlaith Daly
The cat's already out of the bag already with this one, but many expect big things from the Waterford centre back this summer.
Coming on to replace an injured Tadhg de Burca in last year's All-Ireland final, he's stepped up in that role during the Deise's league campaign and played at centre-back in their loss to Clare last weekend.
They'll be without de Burca for the entire summer, so the focus will be on Daly to take up the mantle, and his task might be made that bit easier if Austin Gleeson is deployed in a deeper role for the rest of the Championship.
Ronan Hayes
The Dublin forward made his Championship debut back in 2019, but struggled to find his feet in a stuttering Dublin attack last year.
However, the 23-year-old has showed promising signs that he can provide a much needed spark to the Boys in Blue's attack as he found the net against both Antrim and Clare in their league campaign.
A towering figure, the Kilmacud Crokes man is a great option for Mattie Kenny on the edge of the square and was central in their win over Antrim last weekend.
Aidan McCarthy
In a rollercoaster league campaign, McCarthy's switch from the half back line to half forward line has been a revelation for Clare.
Well able to fill the free-taking void, the 21-year-old chips in regularly from play and offers an outlet that can perhaps ease the Banner's reliance on Tony Kelly this summer.
He put in top displays against Dublin and Kilkenny in the latter rounds of the league, he put in a steady performance in their win over Waterford last weekend and could shine against Tipperary.
Evan Niland
The Galway sharpshooter could have a huge role to play for the Tribesmen this summer.
Stepping up to a starting role this year, and trusted with free taking duties by Shane O'Neill, Niland is deadly accurate if given a yard of space with a sight of the posts.
Operating at centre forward, if he can drift in between lines and find space, Joe Canning and Cathal Mannion should be able to pick him out and he should do the rest.
If Galway launch another serious assault on Liam MacCarthy this year, they'll need the 23-year-old to become a real leader up front.
