Árd Scoil stars key in Limerick’s race for final

LIMERICK bid to reach their first Munster MHC final since 2005 when they take on Waterford at Walsh Park this evening (7.30pm).

The Shane Fitzgibbon-coached side demonstrated their credentials when defeating Cork in the opening round in April. Árd Scoil Rís stars, full-back Barry O’Connell, centre-back Ciaran Keogh and centre-forward Shane Dowling, provide a strong spine to the Shannonsiders’ team. The return of Mark Carmody, who missed the victory over Cork, is a boost to their attack while David Reidy, who impressed for Charleville CBS in the Dr Harty Cup, is also a key man.

Waterford manager Liam O’Connor includes impressive midfielder Gavin O’Brien in his side after injury.
