‘A one-line statement was all that was required’
Cork native Donal O’Grady, an All-Ireland medal-winner as a player 30 years ago and as a manager with the Rebels ten years ago, departed as Limerick senior hurling coach and joint manager last weekend.
It was an unexpected exit but is easily summarised: O’Grady was unhappy with the county board’s tardiness in clarifying suggestions that he and fellow manager TJ Ryan had apologised for the Limerick hurlers’ performances, as outlined in a brief statement released to this newspaper last Sunday evening.
