Gearóid Hegarty keen on Limerick dual role

Limerick’s All-Ireland U21-winning half-back Gearóid Hegarty has expressed his desire to play both hurling and football for the county at senior level.

Hegarty, who captained the Limerick U21 footballers this spring and lined out at midfield on John Brudair’s senior team, rounded off a “dream” debut season in a Limerick hurling shirt on Saturday evening, putting in a solid shift at left half-back as the Treaty County swept to a first U21 crown in 13 years.

The rangy St Patrick’s player is over age for U21 in 2016 but has revealed his ambition to continue as a dual player at senior level.
