Leinster call up Tyrrell and Larkin

LEINSTER manager John Conran has drafted Kilkenny duo Jackie Tyrrell and Eoin Larkin into his side for tomorrow’s M Donnelly Inter-provincial hurling final against Connacht at Pearse Stadium.

All-Ireland winning captain Tyrrell replaces Wexford’s Rory McCarthy, who is attending a wedding, in defence, while Larkin comes in for Gary Hanniffy at left half-forward in the only changes from the team that comfortably accounted for Ulster in the semi-final.

Meanwhile, Diarmuid Cloonan and Mark Kerins have been included in the Connacht team, despite not featuring for Galway in two years.
