O'Connor doubtful for Limerick

Limerick U21 All-Ireland winner Sean O'Connor is a major doubt ahead of the Shannonsiders' Munster hurling championship clash with Tipperary on May 15.

The attacker tore ankle ligaments during last weekend's defeat to Waterford in the National Hurling League and will be out for the remainder of the county's league campaign.

However, there was better news for boss Joe McKenna yesterday as half-back Peter Lawlor came off the bench during the victory over Dublin.

Lawlor broke his jaw bone in the opening game defeat to Cork and had been on the injured list since.
