Shaughs’ day for silencing doubters

THERE are people I know, hurling people, who have doubted Andrew O’Shaughnessy.

They have doubted his temperament, doubted his ability to produce on the big day. They don’t know Andrew O’Shaughnessy.

He’s been on the Limerick senior team for a number of years but has yet to really grab the headlines. This has not been his fault. Through all those years he’s been stuck in the corner as Limerick battled out the field, was fed on crumbs — badly-aimed crumbs at that — high balls, bad balls and scrappy balls.
