Efforts to resolve Limerick crisis continue

LIMERICK County Board secretary Mike O’Riordan last night revealed that attempts to resolve the standoff between senior hurling manager Justin McCarthy and the majority of last year’s squad are ongoing.

O’Riordan has spent the past week contacting all the players on the 2009 panel, including those currently at odds with the management team, to ascertain whether they would agree to talk to representatives from Croke Park in an effort to bring closure to the row which has rocked the GAA on Shannonside.

“I’ve tried to contact every player by phone, but haven’t managed to get all of them yet,” he said.
