Ardscoil Rís
Ronan Lynch (Na Piarsaigh)
Lynch was the star turn for Ardscoil Rís in the recent Dr Harty Cup semi-final win over Hamilton High School Bandon as he shot 1-9 and showcased his brilliant free taking abilities. Made the step up to the senior club stage in Na Piarsaigh’s recent semi-final against Portumna when he arced over two stunning sideline cuts in Thurles. Lynch is bound to be a key figure again today.
Cian Lynch (Patrickswell)
The Patrickswell clubman is captain of the Ardscoil Rís side. He has previous Dr Harty Cup winning experience, having been a substitute on the triumphant Ardscoil Rís team in 2011 when he was only a Junior Cert student. Lynch is a nephew of former Limerick great Ciaran Carey and struck 1-2 when Limerick won last year’s Munster minor final replay.
Michael Casey (Na Piarsaigh)
Corner back on the Na Piarsaigh team that contested the recent AIB All-Ireland senior club semi-final, Casey caught the eye at that level with his defensive displays.Casey also featured for the Limerick hurlers when they lost out in controversial circumstances against Galway in the All-Ireland minor semi-final last August.
Scoil Na Trionoide Naofa Doon
Colin Ryan (Pallasgreen)
Ryan’s accuracy from frees was central to Doon’s victory in their semi-final clash against Rochestown College. He struck 0-9, seven points from frees, in that tie. Ryan is a versatile player who was between the posts as goalkeeper last summer when the Limerick minors won the Munster hurling title.
Dean Coleman (Doon)
Coleman was a major attacking threat at full-forward when Doon won their semi-final tie as he flighted over five points from play. He also featured in attack last summer for the Limerick minor hurlers and struck 1-8 when his club won the county premier minor hurling final last October.
Stephen Ryan (Doon)
The captain of the Doon team, Ryan is a defensive lynchpin at centre-back. Ryan anchored his club’s side at full-back when they won the Limerick premier minor hurling title last year.
