Kearns steps down as Aherlow boss after defeat

FORMER Limerick and Laois football boss Liam Kearns has confirmed that he is stepping down as manager of Tipperary champions Aherlow following Sunday’s controversial Munster Club SFC semi-final defeat to Dr Crokes.

The Kerry native spent two years in charge of Aherlow, guiding them to successive county finals against Moyle Rovers and Loughmore-Castleiney.

Kearns said: “I love training players and all of that but it’s been busy this year. I’m going to take a break — I need a break. I can’t take moral victories any more. I can’t understand how we didn’t win that game on Sunday.”
