CIAN Lynch of Patrickswell has been unveiled as Limerick Senior Hurling team captain.

Lynch, who turned 29 at the start of the month, takes over from the ultra-successful Declan Hannon of Adare, who led the Treaty men since 2017, including through the historic four-in-a-row run.

Na Piarsaigh’s William O’Donoghue has been named as vice-captain.

In a statement, Limerick GAA said: “Declan has led the group by example in everything he did on and off the pitch. He has been a wonderful example to those around him and a great support to all players and the management team throughout his time as captain.”

“New players joining the group in particular were always made welcome and encouraged by Declan. In short, Declan has at all times put the team first. We have no doubt that he will continue to do so as a player in 2025.”
