LIMERICK senior football manager Maurice Horan has revealed that he will be without the services of Pádraig Browne and goalkeeper Conor Ranahan for the coming season.

TIPPERARY midfielder Kevin Mulryan has announced his retirement from intercounty football, aged 29.

Tipperary manager John Evans had included six championship debutants in his team for Sunday's Munster SFC quarter-final against Limerick (Fermoy, throw-in 3.30pm).

Fermanagh, who were handed a walkover win over Carlow on Saturday, are to face league finalists Wexford in the quarter-finals of the Tommy Murphy Cup.
