Premier stars set for Munster opener

Declan Ryan will have attacking aces Eoin Kelly, Seamus Callanan and Patrick Maher back in his selection plans for Sunday week’s Munster SHC quarter-final against Limerick but the Tipperary manager remained tight-lipped as to whether returning star Lar Corbett will be in contention for the Semple Stadium clash.

Ryan revealed last night Adrian Ryan is the only confirmed absentee and expressed delight at Corbett linking back up with the squad last Tuesday night.

“It was a big surprise when Lar decided to opt out earlier in the year but we were all delighted when he decided to come back. Luckily he doesn’t put up a lot of weight. It’s going to take him a number of weeks to get up to speed but it’s good to have him back.”
