LIMERICK MANAGER LEO O’Connor has included six of the starting team from last year’s All-Ireland final in his starting line-up for tomorrow evening’s Electric Ireland Munster minor hurling quarter-final against Cork at Páirc Uí Rinn (7pm).

Goalkeeper and captain Eoghan McNamara, Seamus Flanagan, vice-captains Conor Byrnes and Peter Casey, Thomas Grimes and Paddy O’Loughlin all played against Kilkenny at Croke Park last September. And that sextet will lead the charge as the Shannonsiders begin their quest for a third successive provincial title.
