Club’s long wait for right to captain the county

YOUR report on the captaincy of the Limerick senior hurling team (Irish Examiner, January 25) was read with some dismay in Bruree.

James O’Brien will captain the Limerick team in 2006 and, in his absence from the starting 15, Damien Reale will assume that role.

Your report assumes O’Brien will not be part of Richie Bennis’ starting team and proceeds to name Reale as captain.
