Clubs rally to support McCarthy

IN THE end, it was emphatic.

The long-running crisis that has split Limerick hurling for the last five months came to a head last night at a special meeting of the county board in Claughaun GAA clubhouse. The meeting had been called after the requisite five clubs had submitted a Notice of Motion, which called for a rescinding of three previous motions favouring Justin McCarthy and his senior hurling management team.

When the count was made, a mere 47 agreed with the motion, 83 against, which was actually an increase in the level of support Justin received last December (70/54).
