Committee to choose new Limerick boss

JUSTIN McCARTHY’S position as Limerick hurling boss is in fresh doubt after county board chiefs appointed a high-powered three-man committee to pick the next senior team manager.

McCarthy’s two-year term officially ended with last Saturday’s All-Ireland qualifier defeat against Offaly but the door remains open for the Cork native to reapply for the post.

At last night’s county board meeting, held in Claughaun, former Limerick playing stars Paudie Fitzmaurice and Damien Quigley were entrusted with the task of finding the new man, along with Dairygold chief Jim Woulfe.
