LAST UPDATE | 8 Mar
KYLE HAYES IS not part of the Limerick panel to face Tipperary in tomorrow’s league game at Páirc Uí Chaomh.
Both sides bring a 100% record to the Division 1B tie at the Cork venue (Throw in 7.35pm, RTÉ2) and the winner will progress to the semi-final.
Hayes was on the scoresheet for Limerick as he returned to the starting team in his side’s win over Dublin last month. The 25-year-old was found guilty of two counts of violent disorder following a two-week trial at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court last December and will discover on 20 March if he is to serve a custodial sentence.
Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane, the hurler of the year, will make their first starts of the season for Limerick. Cathal O’Neill lines out at centre back again.
Separately this afternoon, Limerick have announced their league fixture next weekend against Galway has been moved to Pearse Stadium in Salthill.
This change is due to work at the TUS Gaelic Grounds. The game will throw in at 1.15pm on Saturday 16 March, as part of a double-header with the football league fixture that sees Dublin play Galway.
