Limerick dedication amazes Cregan

Eamonn Cregan has been around the block a few times, seen many changes in hurling since he first began pucking a ball in his beloved Limerick over 60 years ago.

He was a member of the first ever All Star team (1971) and was a key player when Limerick won its last All-Ireland SHC title in 1973, shifted from the attack to the pivotal centre-back position where he played a starring role.

He managed Offaly to that never to be forgotten All-Ireland win in 1994 – against Limerick and this year, Cregan is a selector with Limerick’s Munster championship-winning minor team, along with Brian Ryan, Paul Finn, Aonghus O’Brien and Jerry Wallace.
