West Ham's Michail Antonio the only new name as Sam Allardyce names his first England squad

Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkely fail to make the 23-man selection.

WEST HAM WINGER Michail Antonio is the only uncapped player in Sam Allardyceโ€™s first England squad, but Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley have been omitted.

Antonio only made his Premier League debut last season, with the 26-year-old going on to score 10 league goals for the Hammers in that time, including one today in West Hamโ€™s 3-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Phil Jagielka, Danny Drinkwater and Theo Walcott earn recalls for the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia, after missing out on this summerโ€™s European Championships, while Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw returns following injury.

There were no call-ups for some of Allardyceโ€™s former players however, including Mark Noble and Jermain Defoe.

    @domas1507: Limerick beat Cork on the day officially or otherwise. The last two meetings between the two sides before today โ€“ one draw and one Limerick victory. You donโ€™t draw your way into an All Ireland Final.

    Cork deserved the win. They have found a centre back in Tim Oโ€™Mahony. He was my man of the match. Limerick could never get into their stride like in previous weeks, and when they did they gifted Cork their second goal. The two new boys, Dooley for Cork and Oโ€™Brien for Limerick both performed well. Itโ€™s the kickstart that Cork needed and a kick up the backside that Limerick will eventually welcome.

    There will be absolutely nothing in it if these teams were to meet in the championship.

    Will do Limerick no harm at all to taste defeat

    Great win for Cork, who could have had a few more goals. Held on when it looked for all the money Limerick were going to go through them.

    Thatโ€™s a great result for Cork, winning away to the All-Ireland champions.

    Sluggish display from Limerick, did well to draw it back level but missed chances proved costly in the end.

    On to Ennis next week now.

    @David Oโ€™Neill: Not really. Prior to Limerick beating Kilkenny and to a lesser degree Tipp, the media have spent pre season telling everyone how Limerick will struggle to get out of Munster let alone mount a title challenge again. Only when they beat Kilkenny did the media have to eat their words and back peddle somewhat to give this team some credit. Any Limerick fan will tell you that theyโ€™ll treat every game in Munster and on like a cup final, however weโ€™re tired of being brandished nothing more than a team that โ€œgives 100% commitmentโ€, though plenty of that itโ€™s high time they recognise the skill levels of our hurlers.

    @No: Limerick are a serious team and as you say Munster is a minefield but how these journalists make predictions like that in February is beyond me !!! What i will say is 6 or 7 teams will feel they can win it this year !!

    @No: Youโ€™re a bit over the top there. Nobody is brandishing Limerick like you say. Everyone recognises their skill levels. But theyโ€™re starting with a clean slate this year. Theyโ€™ve a 60% chance of coming out of Munster. No more nor no less than the other 4 counties.

    Shouldโ€™ve been a draw. I donโ€™t begrudge cork there win . But the ref gave limerick a free in 5 from the end โ€ฆ. he hadnโ€™t seen the hand pass to Cian Lynch who was thundering down on the goals with only the keeper to beat โ€ฆ.and he knows he made a mistake (an should have played the advantage) because he wrapped both hands around his head!!

    Cork needed that big time and that defeat could well be a blessing in disguise for Limerick considering the way they have been built up in the last couple of weeks. Limerick have proved they can win an All-Ireland and will be there or thereabouts again this year. Hopefully Cork improve from last year but still think we are a couple of players short.
