Limerick Minor team for Munster Final named

Limerick Minor manager Diarmuid Mullins has named his side for Sunday’s Munster Final against Clare.

The Minor Final will act as a curtain raiser for the senior game with a 11.30pm throw in time.

Mullins has made two changes to the side that secured a final berth against Tipp in Thurles.

Into the side comes Colin Coughlan in the place of Michael Cremin.

Coughlan was in the starting team for last years final also and returns to the team having recovered from injury.

The other change sees Eddie Stokes start in the place of Cian Casey in the half forward line.

Captain Michael Keane is still out with injury so captain on the day will be Cathal O’Neill who lined out in last years final.

Patrick Kirby of Patrickswell is the only other player to start that was named in the XV for last years final that Limerick lost to Tipperary.

On Sunday Limerick will be looking for a first title since 2014 and will be playing in a sixth final in seven years.
