Seamus Hickey is confident that a brave new era could be about to dawn for Limerick hurling.

Last year's All-Ireland U21 winning manager John Kiely is now in charge of the Treaty County seniors and will be the seventh intercounty manager that 29-year-old Hickey has played under:

"I'm personally delighted with the appointment we have," the Murroe-Boher clubman notes." I'm very positive about the group he's managed to get around himself and the management team.

"I'm always a believer in the ability we have in Limerick. But it's up to us, it's up to the players, to translate it. The ball is firmly in our court and it has been for the last number of years. We just have to push through that barrier, whether it's in our minds or where it is.

"At this time of the year it's all positive and anything is possible. That's the frame of mind I'm in."
