JOE CANNING must be considered extremely doubtful for Portumna’s All-Ireland Club SHC semi-final against Loughmore-Castleiney on Sunday week.

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.

WITH three of last season’s All-Ireland winning side having retired Kerry have called up Pádraig Reidy, Killian Young and Micheal Quirke for next Sunday’s Munster SFC semi final meeting with Waterford at Fraher Field, Dungarvan.

LONG serving Limerick GAA secretary James Hartigan has declined the position on a full-time basis.

KERRY will not name their side to face Cork in the Munster SFC Final replay until Sunday afternoon due to a number of niggling injuries sustained in the drawn game.

LONGFORD deserved their win in this All-Ireland SFC qualifier at Walsh Park on Saturday, but their margin of victory does scant justice to a determined challenge by the home county.
