Limerick vice-captain Barry Coleman looks ahead to the Tailteann Cup final against Kildare
2025 has been a difficult year for Limerick senior football vice-captain Barry Coleman. Rathkeale clubman Coleman had difficult injuries to deal with this year.
“Throughout the league, I tore my quad and then I tore my hamstring when I came back twice nearly in the space of two weeks.
“I just needed to take a bit of time to get it right, it's hard when the lads are going so well, I'm just happy to be on the other side of it,” admits Limerick senior footballer Barry Coleman.
Coleman said there has been challenges physically and mentally this year posed by the injuries.
“For me personally, it's been an extremely difficult year both physically and mentally. It's extremely frustrating and difficult to put into words, injuries are part of the game. That's something that you have to come to the realisation with. I hope that it's last of my injuries for a long time.”
