U21 champs Limerick in action against Cork

All-Ireland champions Limerick take on Cork in the Munster U21 semi final at Pairc Ui Chaoimh this evening.

Limerick include nine of the starting 15 which defeated Galway in last year’s All-Ireland final. Timmy Houlihan is again in goal with Niall Moran partnering Pat Tobin at midfield.

Colleges stars Pat Kirby and Andrew O’Shaughnessy, who captains the team, are named at left half-forward and right corner-forward respectively.

Meanwhile, Setanta O hAilpín has been cleared to play for Cork after being sent off in a club game at the weekend, for which he received a month’s suspension from the County Board.

Clare meet Tipperary in Cusack Park, Ennis in the other semi final.

The winners will meet in the Erin U21 Munster Hurling Final set for August 6.
