Limerick selector Nash quits before Kilkenny clash

LIMERICK hurling selector Declan Nash has resigned, a fortnight before the side face Kilkenny in the All-Ireland SHC quarter-finals.

In a one sentence statement issued by county PRO Denis O'Carroll, it was confirmed that Nash had tendered his resignation on Sunday night, and added that the County Board thanked him for his services to Limerick hurling both as a player and selectors over the years.

Mr. O'Carroll refused to comment on the reasons for Nash's resignation. He also refused to speculate whether his board would fill the vacancy ahead of their All-Ireland quarter-final on Sunday, July 31.
