O’Donnell faces fitness test

LIMERICK football goalkeeper Seamus O’Donnell will undergo a fitness test tonight, in advance of finalisation of the team for next Sunday’s Bank of Ireland Munster championship final against Kerry.

However manager Liam Kearns indicated he was optimistic O’Donnell would be passed fit. O’Donnell had just recovered from a quad muscle injury he picked up in the League semi-final against Kerry when he got a knock in the championship semi-final encounter with Waterford.

“I’d be hoping he’ll be there,’’ said Kearns. “He’s very good at organising the defence and a very strong character. It’s important we have him. Mike Jones is the sub ‘keeper and he has come in for him any time he has been injured. We would have confidence in him, absolutely, but it’s like any other position in the team, you want to have your first choice!’’
