THROUGH its various social media challenges, Limerick GAA will release John Kiely’s much-anticipated team for Sunday’s National Hurling League Final clash with Kilkenny on this Friday night, 9pm.
The main injury worry is David Reidy, who knocked over eight points in the opening couple of rounds of the competition. He suffered a hamstring injury in the round two outing with Clare at the Gaelic Grounds and remains on the recovery path.
Midfielder William O’Donoghue is ruled-out through suspension.
It’s unlikely that Kiely, and fellow selectors Paul Kinnerk, Donal O’Grady, Alan Cunningham and Aonghus O’Brien, will tinker much with the side that accounted for Tipperary in the home semi-final a fortnight ago.
Still, there were five All-Stars who didn’t start that evening, namely Kyle Hayes, Dan Morrissey, Richie English, Séamus Flanagan and Gearóid Hegarty, and this quintet must surely come into the selectorial thinking of management.
Limerick are aiming to win the League for a 14th occasion, which would place them joint third, alongside Cork, in the overall Roll of Honour, shared by Tipperary and Cork with 19 titles each.
