He also coached the Brian Ryan managed Limerick’s minor hurling team. when they won a Munster title in 2013.

That team included the likes of Richie English, Sean Finn, Darragh O’Donovan, Cian Lynch and Tom Morrissey, all of who won a senior All-Ireland with Limerick last August.

Jimmy Quilty has left the management team since that All-Ireland victory and O’Brien was on the sideline during Limerick’s defeat to Tipperary in the Munster Senior Hurling League last Friday.
