Kearns in the frame for second spell in charge of Limerick

LIAM KEARNS could be set for a second spell as Limerick football manager.

The man who guided the fortunes of the Limerick senior footballers from 1999 to 2005 is one of six nominations to succeed Mickey Ned O’Sullivan on Shannonside. Ironically, O’Sullivan succeeded Kearns in 2005.

In his first spell in charge of the Treatymen, Kearns guided Limerick to Munster final appearances in 2003 and 2004 and saw his side play in Division One of the National League.
