Signs of recovery after Shannonside storm

2010 was a year to forget for Limerick hurling, the county convulsed by the controversy that saw its senior hurling team drastically diminished by cuts and withdrawals.

2010 marked something of a watershed for Limerick hurling, but as Diarmuid O’Flynn discovered, the county is in rude health at grassroots level and keen to re-establish itself amongst the top tier.

Could it be though that 2011 will be the year that Limerick hurling makes a comeback?

Certainly the evidence of last weekend would suggest that whatever about the top level (and under new manager Donal O’Grady, there are green shoots there also), hurling at underage is in a very healthy state in the county.
