Coach Carroll’s Emmetts bid to restore bruised Limerick pride

THERE’S a book going to hit your shelves in a few weeks’ time, ‘Unlimited Heartbreak’, by Henry Martin — it should be made compulsory reading for every Limerick hurling supporter.

Based around some of the most frank and revealing interviews you will ever read, with some of the most central characters in controversy after controversy that has dogged Limerick hurling for decades, by the time you have finished reading you will understand, completely, why Limerick hurling is in such disarray.

As the book progresses, one character in particular takes centre-stage (and he shall remain nameless here — get the book for yourselves and it will soon become apparent), and the bile, the venom, oozes from the pages as charge and countercharge is levelled, abuse hurled.
