FIVE MEMBERS OF the Tipperary squad that claimed the Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor hurling title last September are included in their opening clash this season in Munster tomorrow night.
Tipperary take on Limerick in a quarter-final tie at Semple Stadium at 7pm and manager Liam Cahill has a strong side at his disposal.
Corner-back Jerome Cahill, centre-back Paddy Cadell and centre-forward Jake Morris all started in last September’s final win over Limerick, while wing-back Kieran Breen and midfielder Bryan O’Mara were part of the squad that claimed honours in Croke Park.
Team captain Cadell is one of four members of the Our Lady’s Templemore side that have lifted the Harty Cup and Croke Cup at colleges level this spring.
Goalkeeper Eoin Collins, wing-forward Ray McCormack – a brother of Tipperary senior Dan – and corner-forward Andrew Ormond were all part of those triumphs as well.
