THERE were two elections at this Monday evening's Annual Convention of Limerick GAA County Board.

The voting was to elect a new Central Council delegate and two new delegates to Munster Council.

The Annual Convention took place in the Woodlands House Hotel in Adare.

The two new Munster Council delegates are Seamus Twomey of Granagh-Ballingarry and Denis Carroll of South Liberties.

There were three counts required with the quota of 69.

In the first county Twomey got 67 votes and Carroll 54. The other candidates were Mike Cunningham and Donal Morrissey. Cunningham got 56 votes in the first count with 29 for Morrissey.
