Limerick hurlers delighted to have 'mother figure' Caroline Currid back

"If we have a problem, we can go to her," Cathal O'Neill said about Currid. "She's just that calming voice and you can be sure that she's going to make it somewhat better or go away completely."

Limerick hurler Cathal O’Neill has described returning sports psychologist Caroline Currid as a “mother figure” and “huge player favourite” within the Treaty set-up.

Not part of the Limerick operation over the past two years, O’Neill said Currid rejoining John Kiely’s backroom team, as revealed by the Irish Examiner last month, was welcomed by the entire panel.
