'The boys had a long enough break in 2020': John Kiely won't accept fatigue as an excuse

'We won’t be killing fellas either but they will be getting their requisite amount of game-time to get them prepared for the Championship'

STILL HUNGRY: Manager John Kiely is unperturbed by the possibility of Limerick facing a hectic schedule in their defence of their All-Ireland, Munster, and Division 1 titles this year. ‘I’m not in the slightest bit concerned about it. The boys had a long enough break in 2020 — if any fella rocks on telling me he’s tired, I’ll swing for him,’ he said. Picture: INPHO/Laszlo Geczo

Limerick manager John Kiely will not accept any slacking off from his players as he plots to defend their All-Ireland, Munster and Division 1 titles.

After yesterday’s decision, collective training has been pushed back to February 1 with the first round of the Allianz Hurling League possibly commencing at the start of March.
