Anthony Daly: Limerick would relish sowing doubt in Cork minds

You get the feeling now that Limerick are heading to Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday with blood on their minds, writes Anthony Daly.

During my time as Dublin manager, I got Michael Carruth, the Olympic boxing gold medallist from 1992, involved as a masseur. Mick had a great presence around the dressing room. The lads loved him. He had a great way with people, and everyone had great respect for Mick because of what he achieved.

That respect followed him wherever we went. After we gave Wexford a good clipping in the league one year, Billy Walsh, the renowned Irish boxing coach from Wexford, came in to our dressing room to say hello to Mick. Billy congratulated me in his distinctive Wexford twang. “Ye boys are knocking the fun out of going to Dublin-Wexford matches anymore,” he said.
