John Kiely has named his starting XV for Saturday evenings National League semi-final against unbeaten Tipperary. Once again, the Limerick management team has shuffled the pack.
There are returns to the starting side for Seán Finn and Cian Lynch, while the impressive Donnacha Ó Dálaigh gets a second start at this level. Ó Dálaigh, Tom Morrissey and Colin Coughlan are all listed to start having been introduced during last Sunday’s facile victory over Wexford.
There are previous five-star winners on an impressive looking subs bench. Kyle Hayes, Gearoid Hegarty and Seamus Flanagan are all likely to feature as Limerick chase a third league title under Kiely.
Throw in at the TUS Gaelic Grounds is at 7.30pm, with live TV coverage provided by TG4, those attending are advised to allow extra time when travelling to the game, with Munster playing in nearby Thomond Park, with a 5.15pm kick-off.
