Issue of dual players resolved

UNUSUALLY, both Limerick senior teams share a double bill in O'Moore Park, Portlaoise on Monday and, for a change, the footballers will be the centre of attention.

Already they have made their own bit of history by winning first division status in the Allianz National League for next season. And, there's the promise of even further glory, maybe even the possibility of new President Sean Kelly presenting a trophy to a team managed by one Kerryman, Liam Kerins and including his own brother Brian among the selectors.

Firstly, there is the important matter of taking on Wexford in the Division Two semi-final, a game which football boss Kerins admits will be a severe test for his team. Wexford, too, have made it to the premier grouping, after several disappointments in recent times. Tommy Carr was brought in as 'advisor' last season and a member of his former Dublin management, Don Twomey, has since taken over the management of the team.
