Green light for Limerick glory

LIMERICK must win a senior All-Ireland hurling title within the next two years or all the Under-21 success will count for nothing.

That’s the candid view of former Limerick manager Phil Bennis, who was the last man to guide his county to All-Ireland success when the Shannonsiders won their first Under-21 title in 1986. He also steered Limerick to minor All-Ireland success in 1984.

The Patrickswell man was a member of the last Limerick senior team to win the All-Ireland title in 1973, along with his brother Richie.
