Horan rejects call for B competition

Limerick manager Maurice Horan says an All-Ireland B football championship would be a massive turn-off for players and managers.

As his team prepare for a trip to Longford for their first round qualifier on Saturday week still without Ian Ryan, the Mayo native insists players won’t “bother their arse” with a Tommy Murphy Cup-style competition.

Limerick are hoping to get back on track after an 18-point mauling against Cork in a back door system where they have performed well under Horan.
