GAA: Kennedy drafted in for Tipp

David Kennedy has been drafted into the Tipperary team for Sunday's Munster

Hurling Final clash with Limerick in place of Conor Gleeson, who is suffering from a finger injury.

Gleeson's departure has resulted in a cornucopia of positional switches, with his midfield berth going to Paul Kelly.

Kennedy slots in at centre-back in place of Eamonn Corcoran, who switches to the left, with Kelly moving to midfield.

Barring that, Tipp have 14 of the team that overcame Clare in the Munster

Semi-Final, and 10 of the side that fielded in last year's Munster Final defeat at the hands of Cork.

TIPPERARY: B Cummins; T Costelloe, P Maher, P Ormonde; J Carroll, D Kennedy, E Corcoran; Tommy Dunne, P Kelly; M O'Leary, E Enright, B O'Meara;

E Kelly, D Ryan, L Corbett.
