Limerick’s Leo O’Connor slates ‘crazy’ colleges turnaround

Limerick minor manager Leo O’Connor has described the instant turnaround from colleges hurling to intercounty championship as “crazy”.

February’s Harty Cup decider was without the involvement of a Limerick nursery, allowing O’Connor an uninterrupted run in preparing for this evening’s Munster championship first round tie.

His predecessor Brian Ryan was robbed of several players in the build-up to Limerick’s opening Munster bout last spring as Scoil na Tríonóide Naofa, Doon and Ardscoil Rís progressed to the latter stages of the All-Ireland championship.
