O’Donnell bidding to pull off weekend double

The fixtures have fallen kindly for Donagh O’Donnell this weekend.

Ten days ago, he watched the Nenagh CBS team that he manages prevail against Thurles CBS in brutal weather in their Dr Harty Cup quarter-final replay in Dolla. Victory secured a place in tomorrow’s semi-final with Ardscoil Rís in Sean Treacy Park, Tipperary Town at 2.30pm. But that was the same day the Limerick senior hurlers, who he now trains since John Allen was appointed manager, were slated to face Clare in the Waterford Crystal Cup.

However that game in Sixmilebridge has since been switched to tonight, freeing up O’Donnell to attend both clashes. He’s enjoyed the double-jobbing in recent weeks, and does have to look too far in the Limerick dressing-room for someone well-acquainted with champions Ardscoil Rís, as Ahane attacker Niall Moran is a teacher in the South Circular Road school in Limerick city.
