Na Piarsaigh men bolster Limerick as Dublin make 3 changes for League quarter-final

Na Piarsaigh’s Ronan Lynch is in the Limerick starting line-up alongside clubmates Kevin Downes and Shane Dowling.

LIMERICK BOSS TJ Ryan has named three members of the Na Piarsaigh team that claimed AIB All-Ireland senior club hurling glory recently for tomorrow evening’s Allianz Hurling League quarter-final with Dublin.

Among them is Ronan Lynch, who’s named at wing-back for a senior inter-county debut.

Shane Dowling and Kevin Downes are both named in the full-forward line as Ryan makes five changes in personnel from the team that lost out to Clare in the Division 1B promotion shootout.

James Ryan returns from injury at centre-forward and Wayne McNamara is also named in the half-back line.

Missing out are injured pair Declan Hannon and Tom Condon, along with John Fitzgibbon and the Morrissey brothers, Tom and Dan.

Meanwhile, Dublin manager Ger Cunningham has made three changes to the team defeated by Kilkenny.

Johnny McCaffrey, Seanie McGrath and David O’Callaghan come into the starting line-up in place of Glenn Whelan, Colm Cronin and Fiontán McGibb.
