Cork and Limerick names sides for Munster minor hurling semi-final showdown

The teams meet in the Gaelic Grounds on Thursday night.

CORK HAVE MADE four personnel changes to Thursday’s Electric Ireland Munster minor hurling semi-final against Limerick.

Blarney’s Conor McCarthy replaces Niall O’Leary in the No 4 jersey.

Michael O’Halloran is switched to the half forward line alongside newcomer Liam Healy who replaces the injured Shane Kingston.

Kingston is unavailable after suffering a serious leg injury in a challenge game last month against Clare.

He is a major loss after scoring 1-9 when Cork defeated Limerick in their Munster quarter-final tie in Pairc Ui Rinn back in April.
