Limerick county board statement on meal and administration farce ripped to shreds

Limerick football manager Billy Lee hit his county board hard after his side lost to Clare in the Munster Championship on Saturday.

In an explosive interview with Marty Morrissey, Lee ranted about the unprofessional actions of the Limerick county board in the the week leading up to the game.

“Unfortunately, tonight we had a lad who was due to be on the bench. He togged out to be on the bench and because of inaccuracies in our administration, I couldn’t use him. I had to tell the lad afterwards he couldn’t play, he was distraught," said Lee.

He further criticised the county board for not providing food to his players when they had travelled down for training during the week of the game.

“During the week we came here to training and brought fellas down from Dublin, Cork and Galway and there was no food provided for the players - someone f**ked up,” he said.

Late on Sunday night, the Treaty county board issued a statement in response to Lee's comments.

The Management Committee of Limerick GAA would like to clarify the following in relation to comments made by the Senior Football team manager yesterday evening: 1.The County Board tenders for and approves caterers at the beginning of each year. Each individual team management and their support team is then responsible for arranging the team meals after training as required.
