Tipperary U21 star to start against Offaly

Under 21 star John Devane is named in the Tipperary team to play Offaly in the National Hurling League at Nenagh on Sunday.

He gets his chance at left corner-back due to the absence of Paul Ormonde who is recovering after an operation.

Tipperary are also without Paul Kelly, Eddie Enright, Noel Morris and Donncha Fahey who are injured while Mark O’Leary is among the substitutes.

Places in the starting line-up go to Michael Ryan, Liam Cahill, John O’Brien and Larry Corbett.

Tipperary team: B Cummins, T Costelloe, P Maher, J Devane, E Corcoran, D Kennedy, B Dunne, T Dunne, M Ryan, B O’Meara, J Carroll, L Cahill, O Kelly, J O’Brien, L Corbett.
