Limerick's 2009 hurlers won't return under McCarthy

The 2009 Limerick senior hurlers, who have withdrawn their services under their embattled manager Justin McCarthy, last night issued a lengthy statement in which they insist that they are unwilling to return to the Limerick panel while the current management team is in place.

By issuing the statement, they aim to address what they believe has been an orchestrated series of allegations made by McCarthy and several other prominent figures in the ongoing dispute.
