Horan must do without Browne and Ranahan

LIMERICK senior football manager Maurice Horan has revealed that he will be without the services of Pádraig Browne and goalkeeper Conor Ranahan for the coming season.

Wing forward Browne and sub goalkeeper Ranahan, who made his senior inter-county debut last year, are the latest victims of the emigration crisis which is affecting inter-county teams all over the country.

Former team captain Browne, who can also operate in defence, and Scanlan are both travelling and will be absent for the foreseeable future as Limerick prepare for life in Division 3 of the National Football league.
