Limerick football manager Jimmy Lee has said his players have been “knifed in the back” by the county board and its decision to support seeding the Munster SFC on League standings.

With Lee and his players having expressed open opposition to the proposed change in advance of Thursday’s Munster Council meeting, the Treaty boss said the decision of the county board executive to go against their wishes and support the motion was “a vote of no confidence” in him, the rest of the Limerick football management, the Limerick players, and everyone working at all levels to better Limerick football.
