Loughnane tipped for Galway post as Limerick back Bennis

GER LOUGHNANE’S six-year absence from the inter-county arena may be close to ending dramatically, following the disclosure that he is interested in taking over as Galway hurling manager.

And in Limerick they could be close to finding a replacement for hurling manager Joe McKenna.

The special committee set up by the County Board to select a replacement for McKenna announced last night that they would be proposing Richie Bennis to delegates at next Tuesday’s county board meeting.
