2020 vision: Senior success the next step for Limerick

Limerick U21 hurling boss Pat Donnelly believes the county should be in a position to challenge for a senior All- Ireland by 2020.

Many of Donnelly’s rising stars will bid tomorrow for a second Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21 win in three seasons. The county has also contested All-Ireland minor finals in 2014 and 2016.

It’s the payoff for the academy structures that were set up by visionary Limerick officials inside the last decade.
