CATHAL BARRETT HAS been included in Liam Sheedy’s starting Tipperary team to face Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds in Sunday’s Munster Senior hurling final (throw-in 2pm).
The Holycross-Ballycahill man has been named to line out at right corner-back, while Dan McCormack replaces the injured Patrick ‘Bonner’ Maher in the Premier half-forward line.
Barrett limped off during Tipp’s final Munster round-robin fixture against the same opposition and had been considered a major doubt for the provincial showpiece.
McCormack is the only change of personnel in Sheedy’s starting lineup.
