LIMERICK MANAGER JOHN Kiely has released his 36-man panel for the upcoming Munster SHC campaign, which starts against Tipperary on 20 May.
Six players from All-Ireland club finalists Na Piarsaigh have made the cut as Limerick chase a first provincial crown since 2013.
Two-time All-Ireland U21 winner Ronan Lynch is the highest-profile omission from the squad, although it’s unclear whether he opted out or has been omitted by Kiely.
Lynch’s Na Piarsaigh clubmates Alan Dempsey, Tommy Grimes and Conor Boylan are no longer part of the county panel either, but the city club still have the highest representation on the squad.
The panel includes 14 of last September’s All-Ireland U21 winning Limerick team, while seven players are U21 again this season.
Cian Hedderman, Daragh Fanning and Mikey Mackey have also been left out.
