Kearns fury as Limerick ‘dual’ rift deepens

LIMERICK football manager Liam Kearns and his selectors are to consider their position at the end of the year as the dual player row continues to divide the county.

Kearns launched a stinging broadside at County Board chiefs yesterday as the six players involved issued their own statement on the controversy. Said Kearns: “There are no winners here, only losers”.

Kearns said no meeting on the controversy had ever taken place between himself and hurling manager Padjoe Whelehan, despite repeated efforts by him to set up such talks. Eventually, Kearns revealed, he was left to negotiate through county secretary Jimmy Hartigan.
