We’ll name boss this week

Tom Ryan has insisted Limerick’s new intermediate hurling selectors will meet this week to elect their own new team manager.

It was decided at a special county board meeting last week that a group of five selectors will look after the team next year but that no man will carry the title of manager. Ryan had been recommended by a county board sub-committee to head up the new management team but it was rejected by top officials.

A compromise was finally reached when it was agreed that Ryan, Jimmy Carroll, Don Flynn, Pat Howard and Tony Roche would assume equal responsibility.
