Solitary switch for minor hurlers as they aim for All-Ireland Final spot

Limerick minor hurling manager Diarmuid Mullins has made just one change to his side for their All-Ireland semi final with Kilkenny.

Into the team comes Newcastle West’s Michael Cremin with Patrick Reale dropping down to the bench.

Captain Michael Keane misses out again with a hamstring injury and Diarmuid Hegarty is also ruled out with a severe knee ligament injury.
