LIMERICK HAVE NAMED Declan Hannon and Cathal O’Neill in their starting team for tomorrow night’s Munster hurling championship clash with Clare.
Hannon was reported to be set for a month on the sidelines after limping off with injury against Waterford last Sunday, but was named at number six in the Limerick team that was announced last night. The starting side revealed also included O’Neill at wing-forward with Gearoid Hegarty, sent-off against the Deise, listed among the subs.
Cork, who face their Munster championship opener on Sunday against Waterford, have handed first senior championship starts to wing-back Tommy O’Connell and midfielder Brian Roche. Darragh Fitzgibbon returns at midfield, while the forward line is spearheaded by the experienced trio of Seamus Harnedy, Conor Lehane and Patrick Horgan. The subs list includes the forward pair of Robbie O’Flynn and Shane Kingston.
Davy Fitzgerald has announced his Waterford side as they seek to bounce back from their loss to Limerick. Tadhg De Búrca is ruled out after being hit with another injury setback, Tom Barron drafted in to start in the half-back line instead.
The weekend’s Munster championship action sees Limerick take on Clare on Saturday night in the Gaelic Grounds at 7pm, while Cork face Waterford on Sunday afternoon in Páirc Uí Chaoimh at 4pm.
