LIMERICK CAPTAIN DONAL O’Grady is set to miss the rest of their Allianz HL Division 1B campaign after breaking his collarbone in yesterday’s victory over Carlow.
O’Grady was forced off midway through the first-half after sustaining the injury.
The Granagh-Ballingarry club man, who had started the game at centre-back, will now be sidelined for Limerick’s remaining three league clashes in the Division.
The Shannonsiders have won their opening two matches against Antrim and Carlow now face key games in their hunt for promotion, starting with the battle against Dublin in Croke Park next Saturday night.
They then travel to Tullamore to face Offaly on March 24th before coming up against Wexford in the Gaelic Grounds on March 31st.
But John Allen’s team will now have to plan without one of their most experienced figures for those ties.

Meanwhile Kilcormac-Killoughey have suffered a major blow ahead of next Sunday’s AIB All-Ireland club senior hurling final with attacker Daniel Currams having sustained a suspected broken arm yesterday.
Currams suffered the injury in a challenge game against the Kilkenny U21′s in Johnstown as the Offaly club fine-tuned their preparations ahead of the showdown in Croke Park.
The attacker is now likely to miss out on next Sunday’s game against Galway champions St Thomas and will be a major loss for the Kilcormac-Killoughey club who are appearing in their first ever national decider.
Currams, who has played for the county at senior level in both hurling and football, has impressed at full-forward during Kilcormac-Killoughey’s campaign.
His goal-scoring abilities have been critical as he raised their only green flag in the Leinster final success in December against Wexford’s Oulart-The-Ballagh and last month’s All-Ireland semi-final win over Thurles Sarsfields.
