Limerick appoint Lacey as senior football coach

FORMER Kildare and Tipperary footballer Brian Lacey is the new coach and selector of the Limerick senior footballers.

Lacey fills a vacancy created by the appointment of Ephie Fitzgerald as manager of the Cork minors.

An All Star in 1998, when he shone as a tight-marking and abrasive corner-back in Kildare’s march to the All-Ireland final, Lacey has been involved in the club scene in recent years with Rathangan and Nurney.
