O’Connor anger at losing Limerick job

FORMER playing star Leo O’Connor has admitted huge disappointment after losing his job as Limerick U21 hurling manager.

O’Connor, who served three years in the position, was surprisingly overlooked by county board officials for another term in charge, with John Fitzgerald ratified as his successor last night.

O’Connor took over in 2009 and made significant progress during his spell at the helm, guiding the Shannonsiders to a first Bord Gáis Energy Munster U21 crown since 2002 earlier this year.
