Unlucky break means Moran will miss semi-final

OLLIE MORAN is almost certain to miss out on Limerick’s Munster SHC semi-final showdown against champions Waterford at Semple Stadium on Sunday week.

The versatile Moran broke his index finger while playing in a challenge against Cork at Páirc Uí Rinn on Sunday morning, a game which the home-side won by two points.

A Limerick spokesman confirmed yesterday that Moran had an x-ray on his damaged finger. "And while he is a great battler we are resigned to having to do without him against Waterford," he said.
