All Star Seamus Hickey thinks Anthony Daly will 'leave a very telling mark' on Limerick hurling.

The former Clare and Dublin manager was appointed Director of the county's Underage Hurling Academy this week and, speaking to the The Irish Times, the 27-year-old corner-back said: "I would argue that any job that came up this year he was going to be a candidate for it.

"When he took himself out of Clare and put himself in that job in Dublin it showed an ability to step outside that comfort zone where he'd be familiar with his surroundings and really make hay.

"I speak very highly of the guy because I think very highly of the guy ...

"I've been speaking with Anthony since he left Dublin and he's just a tremendous character.

"He's a great guy to be around. I looked at the book and thought it was great. I would consider him a great leader within Clare and what he's done for Dublin it's very hard to quantify.

"Away from the GAA, his charisma and what he's done for hurling in Dublin, I think it'll leave a very telling mark."

TJ Ryan is, however, still the man to lead the Shannonsiders' senior outfit as Hickey added: "At the moment, at home we're blessed to have a Limerick man leading a Limerick team and we're delighted."
