Limerick clubs seek McCarthy talks

AS predicted in these pages after the county board meeting on Tuesday night, the requisite five clubs have got together in Limerick and produced a notice of motion requesting a special meeting of the board to discuss the position of current senior hurling manager, Justin McCarthy.

The requisite five clubs have requested that should a vote – presumably of no-confidence in the manager – be called, that vote should be taken.

According to reliable sources, the five clubs are Adare, Ahane, Croom, Garryspillane and Patrickswell, all of those senior hurling clubs and all with players on the group of 24 who are currently at odds with the senior management. A further five of the total of 15 senior hurling clubs are said to be definitely on board, the remaining five yet to be confirmed.
