Fury over Emmets’ call to start 13 players

An ugly row is developing in Limerick after divisional club Emmets started with just 13 players in their championship game against Adare on Sunday.

Bruree and Granagh-Ballingarry are lodging protests to the county board about Emmets, who lost to Adare by 5-19 to 0-6.

That heavy defeat of Emmets, who had already qualified for the quarter-finals in Group One of the county SHC, meant Bruree missed out on the last eight to Adare on score difference while also ensuring Adare avoided the relegation play-offs at the expense of Granagh-Ballingarry.
