WATERFORD MANAGER LIAM Cahill has named an unchanged starting XV for tomorrow’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final meeting with Limerick in Croke Park.
Cahill has kept faith with the team that started in last week’s impressive defeat of Tipperary, with Neil Montgomery – who bagged 1-2 off the bench against the Premier – once again named on the bench for the repeat last year’s All-Ireland final.
De La Salle’s Shaun O’Brien continues in goal, with Ian Kenny, captain Conor Prunty and Shane McNulty lining out in the full-back line.
Shane Bennett continues at centre-back with Calum Lyons and Kieran Bennett completing the half-back line, while Jamie Barron and Peter Hogan continue their midfield parternship.
