Hehir faces race against time to find US player

TOM HEHIR, the Burger King Limerick Coach, faces a race against time in a bid to sign an American before tomorrow night’s ESB SuperLeague clash with Waterford Crystal at the University Arena.

It was been a turbulent time for Hehir who could only watch helplessly as his bench collapsed when he should have been reaping the fruits of a strong under-age programme developed over the years.

Robert Lynch went to Tralee, some of the fringe players called it a day, their Bosman returned to Australia and his Americans went their separate ways.
