Kearns, Whelahan to duel on player row

LIMERICK football manager Liam Kearns and his hurling counterpart Padjoe Whelahan are to meet to resolve the row over dual players.

Last week, the former Birr boss demanded full commitment to hurling from all in his squad.

Kearns has been forced to delay naming his team to play Waterford in the McGrath Cup semi-final until the matter which affects Stephen Lucey, Mark Keane, Mark O’Riordan, Conor Fitzgerald, Brian Begley and Mike O’Brien can be resolved.
