Reinvigorated Limrick making up for lost time

CASTLEHAVEN defender David Limrick is aiming to put his injury nightmare behind him and grab his first Cork senior football medal in Páirc Uí Chaoimh next Sunday.

Limrick endured an 18-month spell on the sidelines with a knee injury which entailed two different operations, before he was restored to full fitness in time for Castlehaven’s local derby with O’Donovan Rossa in the fourth round of the county SFC in August. The chance to claim silverware will banish the frustration endured by the 2007 All-Ireland U21 winner as he attempted to cure the problem in his right knee.

“I had been having trouble with my right knee for a few years and it was kind of dragging on. It was a constant enough pain and it was catching me on the run. Kicking wasn’t too bad, I don’t kick the ball much in a game anyway, it was just with running that I had problems. I played for the club in a game in February 2010 and that was my last one until I came back for the Skibb game this year.
