‘No excuses’ for Limerick

Limerick captain Donal O’Grady said his namesake’s departure as co-manager won’t be used as an excuse should they lose their Munster semi-final to Tipperary on June 1.

However, he expressed regret at the manner in which the Cork man felt compelled to step away, after a difference of opinion with the county board.

Limerick last night returned to training for the first time since the club championships, where the players were introduced to new selector, Dave Clarke.
