Evan Loftus names Limerick Minor Hurling side for Munster opener with Waterford

Four of last year’s side who reached the provincial quarter-final against Waterford are named from the start for this week’s game against the same opponents.

Evan Loftus has named his Limerick Minor Hurling team to take on Waterford in the first round of the Munster Championship this Tuesday evening, live on Munster GAA TV.

Sean Morrissey (Dromin Athlacca Banogue) captains the side from corner back with throw-in at the Fraher Field at 7pm tomorrow evening.

Four of last year’s side are named from the start in John O’Keeffe, Diarmuid Lyons, Tadhg Boddy and Darren Collopy as they reached the provincial quarter-final where they were beaten by this Tuesday’s opponents.
