McKenna wants Limerick job as ex-boss Cregan blasts Whelahan

LIMERICK hurling selector Joe McKenna is a candidate for the managerial position vacated by manager Padjoe Whelahan.

Offaly born McKenna, a member of the Limerick team which last won the All-Ireland in 1973, had his claims strengthened when his South Liberties clubmate decided to withdraw his resignation as co-selector.

Declan Nash quit within hours of Whelahan’s departure but then had a change of mind after discussing the matter with family and friends. Both men are close associates of county teams sponsor JP McManus.
