Boost for Treaty footballers

LIMERICK senior footballers have received a massive boost with the news two of their dual stars will be available to new manager Maurice Horan.

Horan, who worked alongside previous boss Mickey Ned O’Sullivan last year, revealed Stephen Lucey and Mark O’Riordan are committing to both codes for the coming season.

Lucey and O’Riordan were two of the players who refused to line out under Justin McCarthy for the county’s senior hurlers last year but the two defenders have played in recent challenges for McCarthy’s successor, Donal O’Grady.
