Limerick star Lucey blasts college critics

UCD and Limerick star Stephen Lucey hit back yesterday at critics of the College’s participation in the club championships.

UCD beat Birr in last Sunday’s AIB Leinster Club hurling quarter-final but Lucey disagrees with those who say the Dublin college have an unfair advantage over other clubs.

“I’ve been playing for this club for seven years now,” said Lucey. “I’ve played hundreds of games for them so I don’t understand how people can say we’re not a club team. If we’re not a club team then I don’t know what is.”
