WITH the recalls of Fergal Moore, Shane Kavanagh, Fergal Healy and Niall Healy, Galway will field their strongest team of the season for next Sunday’s Allianz NHL showdown with Tipperary at Pearse Stadium.

THE National Referees Association has moved quickly to defend Laois whistler Anthony Stapleton, who dished out 12 yellow cards and one red during last Sunday’s All-Ireland Club SHC semi-final between Portumna and Loughmore-Castleiney.

LIMERICK made six changes from the side that lost to Kilkenny in last season’s All-Ireland final for Sunday’s NHL opener against Laois at the Gaelic Grounds.
