Limerick starlet Dowling frustrated by supporters’ negativity

Shane Dowling has blasted the Limerick public for not getting behind John Allen’s hurlers.

The rising star was livid with the negative attitude of the county’s supporters towards the team both before and after last month’s narrow Munster quarter-final defeat to Tipperary.

Stating it was his personal opinion and not the camp’s, Dowling said: “Personally, this is my first year in the senior panel and I was very disappointed with the Limerick public. Some of the stuff that you’re being told or hearing or seeing, it didn’t make any difference to us but it was just disappointing to see and to hear.”
