Shock as Donal O'Grady quits job as Limerick boss

A row with the county board has prompted the the former Cork manager’s decision.

DONAL O’GRADY HAS resigned as joint manager and coach to the Limerick senior hurling team.

The former All-Ireland winning boss with Cork says he ‘had no other choice’ than to call time on his second stint with the Treaty after a dispute with the county board.

“Limerick hurling co managers TJ Ryan and Donal O’Grady sought an immediate meeting with county board officers when certain statements at a recent board meeting appeared in the press,” a statement released to the Irish Examiner reads.

“One such statement informed the meeting that the co-managers ‘apologised for the abysmal’ displays during the league at a previous league review meeting. This statement was simply untrue.

“Furthermore the co-managers were appalled and alarmed that such statements would be made as they completely undermined the efforts of the players who had worked tremendously hard over the winter to advance the cause of Limerick senior hurling.”

TJ Ryan will continue as manager for now, GAA chiefs in the county say.
