THE Limerick GAA Convention was held in the Strand Hotel on Sunday with plenty of change ushered in at the top table.

Seamus McNamara defeated Mike McDonnell by 175 votes to 113 in the race for assistant secretary and Geraldine Neenan had an easy 216 to 76 win over Con Danaher for the position of assistant treasurer.

Among the motions passed was a Castletown-Ballyagran proposal to name the Munster SHC trophy in hounour of Mick Mackey and the creation of a new board position of ‘hurling officer’ tabled by Murroe-Boher.
