More walkouts as Limerick hurling crisis deepens

LIMERICK senior hurling manager Justin McCarthy is facing a New Year of crisis as four more players have walked away from his severely depleted squad.

All Star nominee Gavin O’Mahoney, Tom Condon, Dinny Moloney and Stephen Walsh are the latest big names to quit the Shannonside set-up as the hurling crisis which has gripped the county deepens further.

McCarthy was backed by county board delegates before Christmas to continue in the role as manager but he will now faces into 2010 without virtually the entire 2009 panel.
