Allen says no conflict in Limerick despite Carey’s departure

Limerick hurling manager John Allen has insisted Ciarán Carey’s decision to step down as team selector was not the result any disharmony within the camp.

Carey cited disagreement over players’ physical condition as a primary reason for his decision but Allen denied any disquiet behind the scenes, stating that Carey no longer had the time to commit to the position.

“Ciarán has decided that he cannot give the time commitment that is necessary at this level,” Allen commented.
