LIMERICK HAVE MADE two changes to their side to face Galway in Sunday’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final (3:30pm).

John Kiely has opted to start both Mike Casey and Cian Lynch, with Dan Morrissey and Darragh O’Donovan listed among his replacements having started in Limerick’s semi-final victory over Clare.

Casey is drafted in at full-back, with Lynch named in midfield for The Treaty.

John Kiely and his management team has released their Limerick Senior hurling team and match panel for their All Ireland Senior Hurling championship Final against Galway:

Limerick are otherwise unchanged from their thrilling semi-final victory over their Munster neighbours.

Mícheál Donoghue has named an entirely unchanged Galway squad, including his bench, as The Tribesmen seek their first All-Ireland title since 2017.

Pádraic and Cathal Mannion, Daithi Burke, Conor Cooney and Conor Whelan are the survivors from the Galway side that were beaten by Limerick in the 2018 All-Ireland final.
