Cregan: Kinnerk man to boost Treaty football

Paul Kinnerk’s vision for Limerick football will return the county to Munster’s top table, according to board chairman John Cregan.

28-year old Monaleen native Kinnerk has been unveiled as the head of Limerick’s new underage football academy, strengthening speculation he will not be returning to the Clare hurling set-up. It emerged last month Kinnerk had opted out of Davy Fitzgerald’s backroom team for next year, to return in 2016.

Limerick football board chairman John Cregan yesterday revealed Kinnerk’s involvement at the head of the football academy is long term, claiming “this is a project he is particularly keen to oversee”.
