Limerick keep the faith

LIMERICK have kept faith with the side that agonisingly lost the Allianz National Football League Division 2 final for next Sunday’s opening game in the Munster senior football championship against Cork at Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

Speculation that dual player Stephen Lucey might be recalled proved to be unfounded. Lucey has fully recovered after breaking his small finger and was warmed up on a few occasions during the course of Sunday’s final against Westmeath.

However, manager Liam Kearns decided to keep him in reserve and again has opted not to start Lucey on this occasion.
