Gleeson and Barron named on bench for Waterford's clash with Limerick

The Déise boss named his starting XV to face the All-Ireland champions earlier this afternoon with eyebrows raised at his selection

WATERFORD MANAGER Liam Cahill has opted to hold Austin Gleeson and Jamie Barron in reserve for tomorrow’s Munster Senior Hurling Championship second round clash with Limerick.

The Déise boss named his starting XV to face the All-Ireland champions earlier this afternoon and eyebrows were raised that Gleeson and Barron, both of whom have suffered quad injuries in recent weeks but have since returned to action, could only earn a place on the bench.

The pair were introduced as substitutes in the round one win over Tipperary at Walsh Park and made an immediate impact by notching 0-2 apiece as they edged past Tipp by just four points, 2-24 to 2-20.
