THE campaign of outgoing Limerick West Fianna Fáil TD John Cregan was left with ministerial egg on its face yesterday.

AS the funeral took place yesterday of a well-known Limerick hurler, it emerged that a young mother his age also died in Limerick at the weekend from sudden adult death syndrome.

THE mother of Tyrone football star Cormac McAnallen yesterday told how the sudden death of Limerick hurler Willie O’Brien brought back all the pain of her own son’s tragic death.

A TOP Limerick hurler is believed to be the latest sportsman to die from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

This coming Sunday the TG4 Underdogs side, managed by former Offaly boss Pat Fleury, will take on the might of Kilkenny's senior hurlers on the hallowed turf of Nowlan Park (throw-in 1.45pm).

IT’S just as well Ger Cunningham is an easy-going chap, a well-developed sense of humour.
