Limerick confidence is high

LIMERICK minor hurling team manager Tim O’Connor acknowledges that they may be carrying a heavy weight of expectation into tomorrow’s Munster final showdown against Cork as 21 years have passed since they were last crowned champions.

However, Dromcollogher-born O’Connor, nowadays associated with Na Piarsaigh, is optimistic that his team can achieve their goal.

“Confidence is high after our terrific, if unexpected, semi-final win over Tipperary. We have worked hard for this day and don’t want to let it slip.
