Limerick efforts to heal rift

LIMERICK county board chairman Pat Fitzgerald is to meet with the senior hurling management team today to discuss criticism by club delegates of the team’s performance this season.

Mr Fitzgerald was speaking in the aftermath of Wednesday’s monthly county board meeting where delegates spoke frankly on the disappointing performance of the team.

“It was a meeting where delegates who had something to say got it off their chests. I’m a firm believer in accountability and transparency. The one thing I did ask for was that any allegation which could not be substantiated should not be mentioned. There is enough rumour around without adding to it,” he said.
