CORK AND LIMERICK have both announced starting sides for Saturday night’s Division 1A hurling league tie at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh at 7.30pm, (TG4 Player & App live).
The teams renew acquaintances after last summer’s epic championship encounters with Cork naming nine of the team that won last July’s All-Ireland semi-final between the pair, while Limerick have seven of that starting team in their selection on this occasion.
John Kiely’s Limerick outfit make their competitive bow for 2025, with Jason Gillane named in goal as regular netminder Nickie Quaid is out with a long-term cruciate injury. Shane Dowling is a noteworthy inclusion as the substitute goalkeeper.
Shane O’Brien, Adam English, and Aidan O’Connor are all handed starting spots after coming off the bench in last summer’s Croke Park defeat. Corner-forwards Donnacha Ó Dálaigh and Patrick O’Donovan are offered the opportunity to impress, while Barry Murphy is a notable selection at corner-back.
With inter-county experience as a forward behind him, Murphy is set to start in defence after playing at centre-back last year in his club Doon’s Limerick senior winning campaign.
