O’Grady gets the green light

DONAL O’GRADY’S appointment as Limerick senior hurling boss was last night unanimously ratified by club delegates at a specially arranged board meeting with county chairman Liam Lenihan urging everyone in the county ‘to give unconditional support’ to the new manager and also claiming that ‘the day for agendas was gone’.

At a meeting in the Claughaun club in the city which lasted just under 15 minutes, Lenihan began by reading out an official report from the Independent Appointments Committee of Damien Quigley, Paudie Fitzmaurice and Jim Woulfe which detailed the process that led to O’Grady’s appointment.

Lenihan then revealed the management committee of the Limerick County Board had endorsed their recommendation of the former Cork All-Ireland winning boss and his proposal to rubberstamp O’Grady’s appointment was unanimously backed by the club delegates in attendance.
