Moran: Hannon has ‘great potential’

IT’S been a bad few weeks in Limerick hurling with the controversy whipped up over the decision by senior manager Justin McCarthy to jettison a dozen players from the panel, including several of the county’s most high-profile hurlers.

On Sunday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, however, and even as Limerick’s representatives Adare were being denied the opportunity to reach their second Munster final in succession when beaten by Newtownshandrum, a ray of light emerged for the long-suffering Shannonside supporters.

In that game, which Adare lost by three points, 1-17 to 1-14, all but one of Adare’s scores came from one player – Declan Hannon. His age? Sweet 16.
