O’Connell’s return a welcome boost for UL/Bohs

The Limerick side have had a traumatic start to their first year in Division One but hope O’Connell can provide them with the necessary experience to secure an elusive victory against Terenure.

Brother of Irish international Paul, O’Connell was hugely influential as Bohemians secured promotion to the top flight last season. His last game with the club was in the Division Two Top Four final against Belfast Harlequins last May.
