O'Leary selects Munster panel
Munster manager Joe O'Leary has announced a 25-man panel for Sunday's Martin Donnelly Interprovincial hurling final against Leinster in Boston.
O'Leary, a Cork selector, has included eight of the Rebels' All-Ireland winning squad. 2004 Cork captain Ben O'Connor should start at wing forward again after top-scoring with seven points in Munster's 0-25 to 1-13 semi-final defeat of Ulster on October 23.
Clare veteran Davy Fitzgerald started in goals the last day, but Cork stopper Donal Og Cusack could come into contention Stateside.
Fitzgerald is one of seven Clare players included, Waterford and Tipperary boast four representatives each while Limerick's Ollie Moran and Paul O'Grady are also Boston-bound.
Tipp's quartet is headed by 2005 All-Star nominated-midfielder Paul O'Kelly who landed six points against Ulster.
The Interpro final is being held at the Aidan McAnespies club in Canton, Boston this weekend.
Holders Munster are gunning for their fourth title in the last six years, and 45th title in all.
MUNSTER (SH Panel v Leinster): D Og Cusack, R Curran, J Gardiner, P Mulcahy, B O'Connor, J O'Connor, N Ronan, K Murphy (Sarsfields) (all Cork), D Fitzgerald, T Carmody, N Gilligan, A Markham, D McMahon, G O'Grady, G Quinn (all Clare), E Kelly, E Murphy, J Murray, S Prendergast (all Waterford), P Curran, D Fitzgerald, P Kelly, M Webster (all Tipperary), O Moran, P O'Grady (both Limerick).
