O’Grady: Limerick board’s lack of perspective ‘appalling’

Donal O’Grady last night expressed his disappointment with the Limerick County Board for not supporting their senior hurlers at the recent county board meeting, describing their “lack of perspective” as “appalling,” particularly in comparison with officials in other counties and their support for their county teams.

On Sunday evening O’Grady stepped down as joint manager/coach of the Limerick senior hurlers following the Limerick board’s failure to retract an allegation that O’Grady and his co-manager, TJ Ryan, had “apologised for the abysmal displays of the team”, which had failed to be promoted from Division 1B.

O’Grady said: “The first thing the Limerick chairman, Oliver Mann, said when we met about this was that no apology had ever been issued by team management, so I don’t understand why the issue hasn’t been clarified.”
