Foley out to break Limerick’s championship lame duck

MARK Foley has a clear vision of where the Limerick hurlers should be later in the summer — not so much a case of where he would wish them to be, but what can be realistically expected from a team which has fallen steadily from the high of a Munster final appearance four years ago.

While the other Munster counties will be talking in terms of getting to an All-Ireland final, the challenge for Limerick is to win a game, to gain respectability and most of all, to regain their confidence.

General disappointment with the return from their League campaign during which manager Padjoe Whelahan departed in dramatic fashion was offset by the reassurance that the team did improve towards the end, says Foley.
