Limerick appoint Kiely and Kinnerk for new two-year term

The pair have steered Limerick to five All-Ireland senior hurling title wins.

JOHN KIELY AND Paul Kinnerk have committed to a new two-year term in charge of the Limerick senior hurlers.

Kiely and Kinnerk have enjoyed a hugely successful managerial-coaching partnership, guiding Limerick to five All-Ireland senior huring titles.

They completed six-in-a-row this season in Munster with a final win over Clare, but were knocked out by Cork at the All-Ireland semi-final stage.

Limerick GAA confirmed last night in a statement that Kiely and Kinnerk were appointed for a new two-year term.

“Following a county board monthly meeting this evening at the Woodlands House Hotel, John Kiely and Paul Kinnerk were appointed for a two-year term with the Limerick senior hurling team, with the Limerick senior hurling backroom team will be announced shortly.”

The pair have been joined in recent times by Alan Cunningham, Aonghus O’Brien, Donal O’Grady and John Flavin on the management team.

    They are one of the greatest management duos in the history of the GAA. 5 All-Irelands and 6 Munster titles is just incredible really, considering the task they faced when they took over. Their reappointment is ominous news for the rest of the hurling world, in my opinion.

    @zoncolan: but Hayes will be a cost saving for the county board since they won’t have to pay him mileage expenses! Unless of course they agree to pay him taxis all the time

    @Michael Kennedy: I suppose if he was driving 155km/h around your locality with your family out and about you would condone it because he plays GAA.

    @Mistral: So when you sit down to watch the six oclock news and you go its awful sad about that person that got knocked down and killed and then you come on here and dont condone that type of behaviour. Capable of driving 155km/h on a motorway capable of driving at that speed anywhere. Delusional.

    Assaulted 2 people? He was cleared of the assault charge but don’t let that get in the way of your argument
