Limerick star unlikely to feature in remaining group stage game of SHC
Aidan O’Connor missed Ballybrown’s draw with Monaleen at the weekend and is unlikely to play again in the group stages
LIMERICK senior hurling star Aidan O’Connor is expected to miss Ballybrown’s crucial Whitebox Senior Hurling Championship clash with Na Piarsaigh.
O’Connor an All-Ireland winner with John Kiely’s men, was absent for Ballybrown’s 0-20 draw with Monaleen on Saturday afternoon.
It is believed that O’Connor picked up a serious hand injury during their Round 2 victory over Ahane. O’Connor also missed their defeat to Kilmallock.
The Round 5 clashes in Group 1 are expected to take place on the weekend starting Thursday, September 17 meaning O’Connor is in a race against time to be fit.
However, hopes are high in the city division club that their main attacker will be able to feature in the knock-out stages of the championship should they progress.
