Ronan Lynch: Youngsters need space to develop

Rising Limerick hurling star Ronan Lynch has called on supporters to be patient and to give the county’s talented young players time to fully develop as seniors.

Hopes are high on Shannonside that after two All-Ireland U21 wins in the last three seasons, both of which Lynch was part of, their senior drought could be coming to an end.

Limerick have not won a senior All-Ireland since 1973 though UL student Lynch, 20, is among a clutch of emerging talents who are keen to change that statistic.
