John Kiely shuffles the deck as Limerick face showdown with Cork

The sides will meet for their Division 1A hurling tie at the Gaelic Grounds on Saturday.

LIMERICK MANAGER JOHN Kiely has shuffled the deck for his side’s Division 1A meeting with Cork on Saturday evening in the Gaelic Grounds [throw-in, 7pm].

Barry Nash comes into the full-back line in place of Dan Morrissey while Will O’Donoghue slots in on the half-back line to replace Colin Coughlan. 

Darragh O’Donovan has been ruled out after picking up a shoulder injury in Limerick’s win over Offaly last weekend, as Adam English and Cian Lynch pair up at midfield.

Gearóid Hegarty joins Aidan O’Connor and Cathal O’Neill on the half-forward line while Aaron Gillane, Shane O’Brien and David Reidy complete the Limerick attack.

Cork are currently top of the Division with four wins from four while Limerick are just behind in second place.
