Richie Bennis wants players to find that Limerick ‘cut’

The last man to lead Limerick to an All-Ireland hurling final believes one crucial commodity is holding the county back from a return to that elite level — consistency.

Richie Bennis, who guided the Shannonsiders to the 2007 decider, stopped well short of agreeing with another former manager, Tom Ryan, who last weekend labelled Limerick’s season so far ‘hopeless’.

In fact, Bennis said he will travel to Thurles for tomorrow’s All-Ireland qualifier against Dublin with “a bit of confidence”.
