'My mother and my grandmother didn’t take it well at all and they were quite upset with the rumours and I suppose it’s just important for people to be aware that it’s not just the player in front of you, like.'
Gearoid Hegarty has said that false claims that he had left the Limerick panel during this year’s Championship were “draining” and caused great upset to his family.
“ O’Donovan was giving me an awful ear’s abuse. I had to hear about it for a good few training sessions after that but I don’t know where it came from, I don’t know what happened there.” “My mother and my grandmother didn’t take it well at all and they were quite upset with the rumours and I suppose it’s just important for people to be aware that it’s not just the player in front of you, like.
Confirmation came this week that Sligo native Currid, who was involved for each of Limerick’s five All-Ireland successes since 2018 and was repeatedly spoken of in glowing terms by players and management alike, will not be on board for their five-in-a-row tilt next year. Manager John Kiely signed on for a one-year extension only this week, fuelling speculation that the five-in-a-row tilt could be his last hurrah.
He conceded: “I wasn’t at my brilliant best this year. I was quite satisfied with how the year finished, maybe the last three or four games from the Cork game on. But early on in the year in the early stages of the Munster Championship, I wasn’t at my best.
