FORMER DUBLIN AND Clare hurling manager Anthony Daly has announced his Munster panel for the inter-provincial series.
Munster and All-Ireland champions Tipperary dominate the panel with nine players included, while Waterford follow suit with eight.
2016 Hurler of the Year Austin Gleeson made the cut, while Tipperary’s Brendan Maher was given the captain role.
Limerick have five players included in the set-up, Daly’s native county Clare have three representatives, while Cork and Kerry provide one player each.
Former Waterford forward John Mullane and Tipperary’s Tommy Dunne make up Daly’s management team.
Ger O’Sullivan has also announced his Munster football panel, alongside his backroom team of Declan Browne and Dave Geaney.
Clare, who reached the All-Ireland quarter final, dominate the panel with six. Tipperary provide five players, while fellow All-Ireland semi-finalists Kerry see two of their players involved.
Cork also provide five players, and there are two Limerick representatives and three Déise men on the panel.
The hurling and football semi-finals will be played on Saturday December 10th as a double header, with the finals staged the following day.
The Munster hurling panel will meet Ulster, while reigning champions Leinster face Connacht in a double bill at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh. The following day’s final is fixed for Semple Stadium.
In football, Munster will also face Ulster in the semi-final, with reigning champions Connacht lining out against Leinster at Parnell Park. The final will take place at the same venue on the Sunday.
