PREVIEW: The Limerick U20 Hurlers welcome Cork in Munster semi-final

Beary, has Paul Browne, James Ryan, Paudie O’Brien, Ger Downes and Aaron Murphy as selectors/coaches.

He has chosen four of the players who featured in the quarter-final loss to Cork last summer in the shape of Jason Gillane, Josh Considine, Dylan O’Shea and Jack Ryan who is captain of this year’s side.

Gillane and Considine are two of the four members of John Kiely’s senior side that Beary has chosen with Brian O’Grady named at full back and Mark Quinlan at wing-back.

While the senior squad announcement took the focus last night, look at the Limerick U20 side Paul Beary has named for today.
