Limerick's Stokes out

Limerick midfielder Jason Stokes will miss his side's Munster football championship semi-final against Sunday's winners of Tipperary and Kerry on June 19.

The Drom Broadford club man has been out with a leg injury for eight months and missed his county's entire league campaign.

However, hopes had been high that he could make a championship return, but those hopes have been dashed with the news that he may not play any part in Limerick's championship campaign.

Football Board PRO John Ryan said: "He has not been able to partake in training. He is also a big loss to his club, who are defending their county title this summer."
