Horan says Limerick footballers won’t be holding back

Last weekend Limerick senior football boss Maurice Horan set out his stall for 2013, made it known that even this early in the new season he has already more or less decided on who he needs on his panel.

“Our approach this year is that we’re not experimenting in the McGrath Cup, we’re trying to get as far into the competition as we can,” he said after his side defeated Clare and thus qualified to meet Kerry tomorrow in the semi-final.

That isn’t to say that the door is slammed shut on anyone outside the panel who’s lighting up the home scene, just that there will be no large-scale experimentation, no blocks of new faces brought in and put through their paces in training and in the lesser competitions.
