O’Brien return boosts Déise for Limerick clash

WATERFORD have been boosted by the return of Gavin O’Brien from injury for Saturday’s Munster MHC semi-final against Limerick in Walsh Park.

The Roanmore youngster, who impressed in last summer’s minor championship, missed the Déise outfit’s first round victory over Tipperary in April but has claimed a midfield spot for the weekend. His inclusion results in Shane Roche moving to left half-back with Jim Power making way.

The only other change in personnel made by manager Liam O’Connor sees Shane McNulty named at right half-forward alongside De La Salle clubmates Jake Dillon and Adam O’Sullivan. Darragh Flynn moves to full-forward with Chris Kervick the player to lose out.
