Fresh blood can revive Limerick, says Nickie Quaid

Nickie Quaid says Limerick’s All-Ireland-winning U21s have brought “freshness and ability” to the senior set-up.

Manager TJ Ryan is likely to give debuts to several of those youngsters this Sunday against Tipperary and Quaid has high praise for the newcomers.

“It’s not easy to blend a lot of new young lads in with a lot of older lads, but I think they’ve settled in well. They’ve really added to the whole thing in terms of freshness, energy, and ability. Fellas that are senior then have welcomed them in. It doesn’t just happen overnight.
