Allen steps down as Treaty boss

Limerick hurling captain Donal O’Grady is confident the county board will make the right choice sourcing a replacement for departed manager John Allen.

The Cork man’s decision not to continue in charge of the Munster champions was announced at last night’s board meeting but O’Grady has faith a capable replacement will be found.

“It’s a big appointment,” he said. “We’ve had a huge turnover of managers in Limerick in the last decade or so, but the transition from Donal O’Grady to John Allen was seamless and that really helped us.
