Defections ‘blow to Limerick hurling’

EX-LIMERICK hurling boss Dave Keane admitted last night GAA fans in the county were tired of making headlines for the wrong reasons.

Keane, who left the post now held by Padjoe Whelahan, in acrimonious circumstances last year, was reflecting on the latest controversy, which has resulted in six Limerick dual players declaring for the county’s footballers this season.

Admitted Keane: “I don’t believe it’s possible to be a dual GAA player anymore. It’s out of enthusiasm that players want to do both but the demands both mentally and physically have become too great.”
