I'm sure the reason no one has made any comment on this at all is that we're dumbfounded to find good news, which it certainly is, on this forum. Fair Play and good luck to those involved.

Well Limerick are your local senior side but im sure the new appoinments are to help local junior and schoolboy and girl teams in coaching and in general sports participation which is the buzz phrase for all sports bodies these days
