O’Grady fit for Kilkenny showdown

Limerick hurling captain Donal O’Grady returned to training last night, with manager TJ Ryan revealing the centre-forward will be fit for Sunday week’s All-Ireland semi-final showdown against Kilkenny.

A calf injury kept O’Grady, pictured, out of the quarter-final win against Wexford, the 24-year old undergoing a series of cryotherapy sessions this week in order to fast-track his recovery.

“We’re training tonight and Donal will be training. He will be fit,” admitted Ryan. “We will have a clean bill of health for the game, including Conor Allis.”
