The conventional belief is that Caroline Currid has the Midas touch and is Limerick’s missing link.

The first part is most certainly true. There has never been a more successful performance psychologist in Gaelic games than the Sligo native. Cathal Sheridan may have achieved an unprecedented double with Kerry and Tipperary last season but he has some way to go to match Currid, who has worked in eight All-Ireland winning senior groups (Limerick SH 2018, ’20-23; Dublin SF 2011; Tipperary SH 2010; Tyrone SF ’08).
