Injured Limerick hurling star Shane Dowling to miss remainder of the year

Injured Limerick hurling star Shane Dowling to miss remainder of the year

Injured star Shane Dowling

LIMERICK hurling star Shane Dowling is set for a spell injured on the sidelines.

The Na Piarsaigh clubman could be out for up to four months with a knee injury.

Dowling sustained the injury in his club's round four Limerick SHC win over Adare. The ace free-taker missed this Saturday evening's round five win over Doon and afterwards his injury was confirmed.

The 2018 All-Ireland SHC winner will now certainly miss the remainder of Na Piarsaigh's club title defence but will hope to be nearing a return to full fitness in time for the 2020 Allianz Hurling League with Limerick.

It's two years since Dowling previously had a knee injury - sustained in the 2017 Limerick SHC final.

Dowling's absence will be a blow to Na Piarsaigh's bid for a hat-trick of title wins in the Bon Secours Hospital Limerick SHC.

Managed by former Tipperary senior hurling manager Michael Ryan, the Caherdavin men have advanced to the championship semi finals.
