‘Embarrassed’ Limerick fans point finger at board after latest debacle

Disappointment, dismay, that was the prevailing feeling in Limerick with the news of the shock resignation of joint senior hurling manager Donal O’Grady.

It’s the feeling among Limerick’s long-suffering supporters, especially, and nowhere was this more evident yesterday than at Kilmallock Mart where thousands joined the farming regulars for the special Bank Holiday market.

“The county board strikes again!” said one green-clad supporter, a sentiment echoed by many, a reference to claims made by O’Grady in his statement in yesterday’s Irish Examiner questioning statements made by board officers at a recent regular county board meeting.
