O’Mahony: Limerick finally get a lucky break

Limerick’s Gavin O’Mahony has welcomed the new league proposals as the “lucky break” the county might finally catch should they be backed at Saturday’s Central Council meeting.

Under the new format, Limerick, along with Cork, would return to the top flight but in an extended eight-team Division 1A.

While Cork were relegated earlier this year, Limerick found themselves in Division 1B following a restructuring, having earned promotion to Division 1 in 2011.
