As it stands, Limerick must head to Ennis next Sunday for their second round of the Munster senior hurling championship without two of their most valuable players in suspended captain Cian Lynch and the injured Aaron Gillane.

But this tried and tested group are well used to all sorts of challenges, and manager John Kiely is confident his troops can regroup after 14-man Limerick fell to a battling two-point defeat against Cork in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
