Limerick and Clare hope to prosper under new bosses

LIMERICK supporters may wonder if there is life after Liam Kearns as their senior footballers gear up for their first Munster championship game in five years without their former manager.

Under the leadership of the genial Kerryman, Limerick contested three provincial finals, a Division One National League semi-final and a Division Two decider at Croke Park.

Kearns has now departed the scene and another Kerryman, Mickey ‘Ned’ O’Sullivan, has taken his place. Tomorrow, Limerick entertain neighbours Clare in the first round of the championship and team captain Muiris Gavin (out with a calf injury) is adamant the team can progress under the new boss.
