Limerick boss John Kiely has named his side for tomorrow afternoon’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1A clash against Tipperary at the TUS Gaelic Grounds.

Kiely has made five changes to the side which drew with Cork last weekend, with Shane Dowling making his return for the Treaty men for the first time since the 2019 All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Kilkenny.

A persistent knee injury forced Dowling into retirement as an outfield player in 2020 and here the Na Piarsaigh clubman is named in goal for Tipp’s visit, with Jason Gillane dropping to the bench.

Fergal O'Connor, David Reidy and Aaron Gillane all come into the side, as does Doon’s Eddie Stokes for his first senior start for the Shannonsiders.

Throw-in at the TUS Gaelic Grounds is at 3.45pm.
