Coaching style ‘doesn’t suit’ Limerick’s needs

FORMER Limerick hurling manager Richie Bennis has insisted Justin McCarthy’s style of coaching “doesn’t suit” the county’s needs.

McCarthy guided Limerick to this year’s All-Ireland semi-finals but the Shannonsiders suffered a humiliating 24-point defeat against rampant Tipperary at Croke Park.

Bennis said: “I don’t think Justin’s style of coaching suits Limerick. He may be a good coach and I won’t query his credentials because he did well with Waterford but they have a different style of hurler.”
