Carey answers Keane call with return to fold

CIARAN CAREY has returned to the Limerick senior hurling panel for tomorrow night’s All Ireland qualifier against Offaly at Semple Stadium in Thurles (7pm).

Carey had withdrawn from the squad two weeks ago following his omission from the team which defeated Kerry but he has accepted coach David Keane’s invitation to rejoin the panel.

Carey is not named in the starting 15 but the selectors have made three changes from the team which defeated Kerry 0-22 to 1-14 last time out. Omitted from tomorrow night’s team are U21 players Paudie O’Dwyer and Eoin Kelly, along with seasoned campaigner Ollie Moran and they are replaced by John Meskell, Clem Smith and James Moran respectively.
