Hannon back on bench for Limerick, Tipp and Waterford unveil starting sides

LIMERICK HAVE BROUGHT Declan Hannon, Peter Casey, and Barry Murphy back into their squad for Sunday’s Munster championship tie against Cork.

The trio have been named on the bench by manager John Kiely, having not featured in the last round win over Waterford. The Limerick side that started that success against the Deise is again named in the starting fifteen here.

Throw-in at TUS Gaelic Grounds on Sunday is 4pm, with live coverage on RTÉ 2.

Waterford have made two changes for their game against Tipperary with Gavin Fives coming in at wingback and Michael Kiely selected at full-forward.

Patrick Curran and Patrick Fitzgerald are named amongst the subs.

Tipperary have drafted in Willie Connors at midfield in the only change from last Saturday’s victory over Clare in Ennis. He replaces Alan Tynan, who is not selected in the squad, while U20 star Darragh McCarthy, suspended last weekend, is back amongst the replacements.

Throw-in at FBD Semple Stadium on Sunday is 2pm, with live coverage on RTÉ 2.
