Anthony Daly in frame for Limerick minor job

Anthony Daly is in the shake-up to be appointed the next Limerick minor hurling manager after the surprising decision by Leo O’Connor to step down after one year in charge.

Former Limerick player O’Connor yesterday confirmed he was stepping aside following a season in which the minors reached a Munster final, losing to Tipperary, before they were defeated by Galway in an All-Ireland quarter-final.

Daly, who heads up the county’s under-age academy, was a coach/selector with O’Connor this year. Pat Donnelly, John Mulqueen and Brian Foley were also selectors.
