AHEAD of the hotly anticipated All-Ireland Hurling Final on Sunday, the Limerick hurlers have an important message for the people of Limerick – keep it clean.
Supporters are urged to show their pride in Limerick by helping to keep the city and county towns clean and tidy throughout the match day celebrations.
The Limerick senior hurling team actively support the Team Limerick Clean Up (TLC) each Good Friday, and captain Declan Hannon says the entire panel is getting behind the anti-litter message.
“This time all of us are asking our supporters at the Limerick City and County events to show even more pride in Limerick by bringing home your litter.”
“From now, join with us in taking care not to litter and especially at our upcoming events in the city. Leave no trace and leave the city as you found it, clean and presentable,” he said.
Two-time Player of the Year and Vice-Captain, Cian Lynch, added: “We are so grateful for our supporters who clearly love Limerick city and county.”
“A special request we have this year is for supporters to keep Limerick clean, especially at the events around the city and county. It will be a continued expression of unity and pride. Team Limerick, Luimneach Abú!”
Thousands are set to enjoy the match live on the big screen at Pery Square in the city’s Georgian Quarter, adjacent to the People’s Park.
There will also be a big screen event at the Square in Newcastle West organised by Newcastle West Business Association and supported by Limerick City and County Council.
The event is free but access is by E-Ticket only, supporters can get their tickets here.
Limerick GAA Chairman Seamus McNamara said:
“The Limerick County GAA Board are fully behind this Team Limerick Clean Up message.”
“Show pride in this team by keeping Limerick clean. Leave no litter or waste after you. It’s a message we can all observe and be unified about, especially at these upcoming events,” he concluded.
