Barry Murphy comes into the team in attack at centre-forward after coming on as a substitute towards the end of the provincial decider success against Cork.

Adare’s Mike Mackey drops to the bench as the Doon player is handed a starting spot while Limerick have added Seamus Flanagan to their substitutes.

Corner=back Sean Finn, wing-back Ronan Lynch, midfielder Colin Ryan, wing-forward Cian Lynch, full-forward Tom Morrissey – who captains the team – and corner-forward Barry Nash all started when Limerick defeated Galway at the U21 semi-final stage in 2015.

Corner-forward Peter Casey was sprung from the bench during that game, as was current substitute Andrew La Touche Cosgrave.

Throw-in at Semple Stadium on Saturday is 6pm.
