Short and sweet.
Limerick are the first winners of the new-look hurling championship and, unusually, have the second half of August before them in which to celebrate ending 45 years of hurt.
As well as truncating the Championship and moving the final date from its traditional berth on the first Sunday of September, the GAA have introduced a five-team round robin system in Munster and Leinster.
With the top five teams in each province now sure to meet each other it is possible for a team to lose two games and still win an All-Ireland, but it is also possible rack up a collection of results unimaginable in previous years.
As former Galway corner-forward Damien Hayes told RTÉ Sport in the immediate aftermath, it is hard to begrudge a team that can boast wins over the traditional 'Big Three' and reigning All-Ireland champions in one Championship run.
"We are not going to begrudge Limerick," said Hayes. "I used to be critical of Limerick but not this Limerick team. To give them their respect, they beat Kilkenny, Cork, Tipperary and Galway. How could you begrudge them?"

Clare in 1997 famously beat Tipperary twice as well as Cork and Kilkenny on their way to a second All-Ireland in three seasons.
This year Limerick opened with a win over Tipperary before drawing with Cork, beating Waterford and losing to Clare to secure third spot in the Munster Championship.
This qualified John Kiely's men for a preliminary quarter-final against Carlow, which they won handily, before beating Kilkenny and Cork on their way to today's showdown with Galway.
This new format has delivered a Championship that will live long in the memory and may provide more sets of results like this, but for now it is hard to think of a road to glory littered with more of the game's big beasts.
