ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Limerick have confirmed two new additions to John Kiely’s backroom team ahead of the 2024 season.
John Flavin has been added as a coach, with Joe O’Connor returning to the set-up in the role of high performance manager.
O’Connor was the strength and conditioning coach when Limerick won the All-Ireland title in 2018, but stepped away after the 2019 season. He had previously worked with Clare’s All-Ireland-winning hurlers in 2013. This time his title is high performance manager, which means he may step into the void left by the hugely-respected sports psychologist Caroline Currid, who has stepped away having been involved in five All-Ireland-winning seasons with Limerick.
Flavin, meanwhile, was a selector when John Kiely was Limerick U21 manager.
