O’Sullivan: proving media wrong not our aim

LIMERICK manager Mickey Ned O’Sullivan was happy with his side’s win yesterday but also had a word for media commentators who had criticised the Shannonsiders in recent months.

“Being a manager, that’s part of it. You guys have a job to do and you won’t sell papers praising us. You have to be controversial. We take that as part and parcel of management, but we don’t have anything to prove to the media. We have to prove it to ourselves.

“We knew we weren’t doing ourselves justice, and maybe the media were right to point that out, but we don’t go out to prove the media wrong. That’s irrelevant, because none of you guys are out on the field.
