LIMERICK BOSS JOHN Kiely has named a strong starting team for Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1 semi-final against Dublin at Nowlan Park.

12 members of their All-Ireland team will start the last four clash against Mattie Kenny’s side. 

The half-forward line has a familiar look to it with Gearoid Hegarty, Kyle Hayes and Tom Morrissey featuring, as does the midfield partnership of Cian Lynch and Darragh O’Donovan. 

With Declan Hannon on the bench, Tom Morrissey will captain the team. Na Piarsiagh defender Mike Casey returns from injury to take his place as a substitute.
