Limerick manager John Kiely has made two new additions to his backroom team ahead of the 2024 season.

The team’s former S&C coach Joe O’Connor returns to the set-up again, this time as its high-performance manager.

O’Connor was involved with the Treaty men in 2018 when they ended their 45-year famine for the Liam MacCarthy Cup and also helped Clare to All-Ireland glory in 2013.

Having worked under Kiely in 2015 when Limerick captured the All-Ireland U21HC crown, John Flavin is set to link up with the supremo again next season as a coach.

The Monagea clubman joins an already high-profile coaching team which consists of Paul Kinnerk, Donal O'Grady, Aonghus O'Brien and Alan Cunningham, as the Shannonsiders chase their fifth All-Ireland SHC title in-a-row in 2024.
