Limerick all out to capitalise on success

LIMERICK GAA officials are confident of reaping the benefits of Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final win over Waterford.

Board Chairman Denis Holmes believes the real challenge will be to capitalise on the interest generated by the team’s campaign — particularly among the youth — and strengthen the association at schools and club level in the city and county.

He explained: “It’s unbelievable to be in the final. You’d want to see the excitement that was in Limerick last week before the semi-final. The final is going to be unreal. It’s up to us really as a county to build on it, from a GAA point of view. We have had a great year from a hurling point of view and the players and the management have been tremendous,’’ he commented.
