BOTH LIMERICK AND Cork have rung the changes before tomorrow night’s Electric Ireland Munster minor hurling semi-final in the Gaelic Grounds.
Limerick, the defending provincial champions at this level, have made four switches from the team that convincingly beat Tipperary in the opening round in April.
Midfielder Cian O’Brien is ruled out with cruciate ligament damage while Darragh Fanning, Robbie Hanley and Edward Doyle drop to the bench.
The players introduced to the side are full-back Paddy O’Loughlin, midfielder Thomas Grimes and corner-backs Peter Casey and Conor Fitzgerald.
Eight members of the Limerick team started in last July’s Munster minor final replay win over Waterford – Sean Finn, Andrew La Touche Cosgrave, Ronan Lynch, Colin Ryan, Seamus Flanagan, Barry Nash, Cian Lynch and Tom Morrissey.
Cork have made three changes to their side from the line-up that enjoyed a landslide win over Kerry at the opening stage with wing-back Ollie Dempsey, wing-forward Shane Kingston and corner-forward Darren Casey all drafted into the team. Eddie Gunning, Tomás O’Connor and Mark Dolan are the players to make way.
