Back to basics for Limerick

LIMERICK selector TJ Ryan has revealed one of the secret mantras which has helped changed the fortunes of the county’s senior hurlers.

“The KISS philosophy – Keep It Simple Stupid,” Ryan said of the approach which helped Donal O’Grady’s charges to a stunning victory over Clare in Cusack Park on Sunday, a result which help banish some of the memories of last year’s stand-off on Shannonside.

Ryan continued: “You could see on Sunday, a lot of the good things we did were from doing the simple stuff right — giving quality ball, having a glance before you hit to try and find the support player in space. That’s what it’s about.”
