Foley reports for duty as Smith gets dramatic Limerick recall

THE Limerick hurling selectors sprung two surprises when they named their team last night to play Offaly in a crucial Division 1A League game at Kilmallock on Sunday.

Mark Foley, who was reported to have quit the Limerick camp earlier this week, was named at centre forward, and they gave a dramatic recall to Clement Smith, in the half-backline.

Smith had not figured in plans this season. In fact, he was informed by the new management in January that he was surplus to immediate requirements. However, manager Dave Keane did stress at the time that the door remained open to all.
