O’Riordan and O’Grady blast ‘crazy’ hate mail

Limerick GAA chief Mike O’Riordan has revealed his disappointment at revelations that county captain Donal O’Grady received hate mail.

Midfielder O’Grady admitted he was shocked by “crazy” correspondence received from apparent supporters following last year’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Clare.

The Munster title winning skipper revealed in a new book, Fields of Fire: “I couldn’t believe it really. It had been a good season for us and I think we’re well placed for the next few years. We were probably favourites against Clare and maybe that didn’t suit us but the letters were just fully of crazy stuff.
