Limerick five-time All-Ireland-winner Nickie Quaid suffers ACL injury

The three-time All-Star will be a huge loss for John Kiely’s side.

THE LIMERICK HURLERS have been dealt a major blow ahead of the 2025 season following the news that their star goalkeeper Nickie Quaid has suffered an ACL injury.

The three-time All-Star has been a key player in Limerick’s rise, helping his county to win five of the last seven All-Ireland titles as well as six Munster titles in-a-row.

“The Limerick Senior Hurling Management wish to confirm that Nickie Quaid underwent a scan on Friday last that confirmed he has suffered an ACL injury,” a statement from Limerick GAA reads.  

“We wish Nickie the very best in his recovery and assure him of our total support in the months ahead.”

Limerick have suffered with injuries to cornerstone players in recent seasons, including Seán Finn, Darragh O’Donovan and Cian Lynch. They also lost star forward Peter Casey to a serious ankle injury earlier this year.

    Brilliant goalkeeper, terrible luck. Best wishes to him, hope we see him back on the field of play as soon as possible.

    @Eagle Eye: he might well make it back in time for business end of the championship depending how rehab goes

    @anthony davoren: very unlikely, surely? There may not be a business end for Limerick this year without him. Massive massive loss.

    @anthony davoren: looking at the bones of a year to get back to 100% I believe, so unlikely we’ll see him in 2025.

    Very unfortunate. Good luck to him with the recovery. Doesn’t say in the article, but assume it was in a club game.

    @astnasquare: the young lad from Doon was in around the squad a couple of seasons back before picking up a nasty injury himself. He could be in the reckoning

    @astnasquare: Mc Carthy from Glenroe, Gillane from the Well and Power Moonaleen (I think) Barry Hennessy may well be asked back as he is a quality keeper himself
