Rugby hero Earls to line out as Grand Marshall

LIMERICK rugby hero Keith Earls will line out in front of tens of thousands on St Patrick’s Day– but this time he’ll tog out in a different shade of green from his international kit.

The 22-year-old dashing winger, will as Grand Marshal, lead the parade in his native city.

Mayor Kevin Kiely said last night while launching the festival: “We’re all very proud of Keith, he’s a fantastic ambassador for Limerick so he’s a natural choice for our Grand Marshall.
