LIMERICK basketball legend Matt Hall has come on board on the backroom team of the county’s senior footballers.
Under incoming boss Michéal Cahill - who works as the COO of Limerick-based Setanta College - Hall joins Ian Ryan (St Senans), Eoin O’Hagan (Mungret-St Pauls), Stephen Lavin (Adare) and John O’Grady (Oola) on the backroom team with Pallasgreen’s David McGuinness the liaison officer for the panel.
Hall brings a wealth of experience in basketball having played over 200 times for the UL Eagles and later coached the side in an association with Limerick basketball that spanned over two decades.
The Welsh-born Hall is currently assistant coach with Ballincollig - a side whose head coach Ciarán O'Sullivan is working with the Galway senior footballers under their new manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice.
He joins the set up as the county prepare to come back to collective training later this month.
Limerick open the 2027 season with McGrath Cup clashes with Waterford and Tipperary in January.
The Shannonsiders will operate in Division Four of the Allianz League in the spring with the proposed fixtures showing a trip to Aughrim to face Wicklow in the opening round.
