He played in their League campaigns in 2016 and '17 but by '18 and with John Kiely at the helm, he was culled and hasn't got a look-in since. These things happen. That's inter-county hurling at its toughest.
And this will be inter-county hurling at its best. Tommy Walsh was only 16 that day but still, and even two years out of his age, he was trusted with the job of marking Ronan Lynch. He'll probably have Peter Casey for company this time around.
"I'm sure in the Limerick lad's heads, I know from talking to the likes of Henry, Tommy Walsh, JJ," says Hoban, "none of them ever won a minor, and it's one thing, from talking to them, that they'd love to have because it's one of those connections. Once it's gone, it's gone, you only get a few chances at it and it's something they'd love to have achieved but look, they're more than making up for it now.
"Limerick went on and got a bit of revenge in 2017 when they beat us in the under-21 but look they were brilliant young lads, the first team to come through that academy and they probably were ahead of our lads back then. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then and they've been the top dogs since."

"I think it's one that Limerick want," Hoban adds for a finish.
"We beat them at minor, beat them in '19, the 20s beat them this year, so what a way it would be for them to win a three-in-a-row. There won't be any complacency on Limerick's behalf anyway, not that they were that day, but we did maybe catch them off guard a bit."
"That was the boys of '14 now sure. The last one we've won. We'll need something similar again Sunday."
