Hannon returns as Kiely names side for League Final

Adare’s Declan Hannon will return to the Limerick starting lineup for Sunday’s Allianz League final with Waterford at Croke Park.

Paddy O’Loughlin will drop to the bench in what are the only changes to the starting fifteen that beat Dublin in last weekend’s semi final.
