Limerick Hurler Arrested for Alleged Head-butt on Tipperary Player in a Pub

News coming out of the GAA scene over the past 48 hours is one that Limerick manager John Kiely won’t want to hear, allegedly a Limerick player head butted a Tipperary player in a pub on Sunday night. Limerick play Clare next in Ennis and luckily for them the game isn’t of huge importance from a Limerick point of view.

So it will give Kiely time to deal with the player in question…

Late on Tuesday night Limerick GAA released a statement on behalf of team management.

“On Sunday last a member of the Limerick senior hurling squad was involved in a breach of our team protocols,” outlined the statement.

“The matter has been dealt with by management internally and no further comment will be made on the matter at this time,” concluded the brief statement.
