2007 ALLSTAR WINNING goalkeeper Brian Murray will start between the posts for the Limerick intermediate hurling side next Sunday.

Limerick take on Tipperary in the Munster semi-final tie at 2pm in Semple Stadium in a game that is the curtain-raiser to the senior clash between the counties.

Murray is the standout name in the team and has huge inter-county experience. Wing-back Cathal McNamara, midfielder Seanie O’Brien, wing-forward Mark O’Connell and full-forward Mike Ryan all have recent senior experience as well.

McNamara, O’Brien and Ryan all won Munster U21 hurling medals in 2011 while corner-forward Willie Griffin has been a regular fixture on the UCC Fitzgibbon Cup teams recently.
