O’Grady rues missed opportunities

DONAL O’GRADY refused to be drawn on his future as Limerick senior hurling manager following yesterday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final defeat by Dublin.

O’Grady, a former All-Ireland winning player and manager with Cork, has a deal with the Limerick county board that expires on September 20.

But it’s almost certain that Shannonside chiefs will plead with O’Grady to stay on for at least another season – with former boss Richie Bennis insisting last week that the manager should get a minimum three-year term.
