Bennis: Limerick ready after learning lessons

YOU know it’s going to be difficult for the Limerick management and players to look in at the Munster hurling final, knowing what it meant to be there last year and believing that they should again be participants again tomorrow.

Richie Bennis admits to a feeling of ‘sorrow,’ expressing his disappointment that his team failed in their semi-final against Clare, but at the same time indicating a confidence about their ability to turn things around, starting with their qualifier game with Offaly in the Gaelic Grounds this evening (7pm).

He has reason to be optimistic, not least the fact that he has Brian Geary back in action and that promising midfielder Wayne McNamara is also fit to start. And, he feels certain that they can put the lessons they learned in defeat against the Banner to good use.
