The Limerick team named to face Cork in Saturday evening's Division 1A clash in TUS Gaelic Grounds shows four changes from the team that began the win over Offaly last weekend.

Dan Morrissey, Colin Coughlan and Tom Morrissey move to the bench, while Darragh O’Donovan is sidelined with a shoulder injury he sustained in Tullamore.

In their place, Barry Nash returns to the full-back line, Diarmaid Byrnes and William O’Donoghue are named in the half-back line and David Reidy is selected in attack.
