Downes missed the 2017 campaign after tearing his cruciate while Reidy lined out for the Kildare senior hurlers.
Downes is one of 10 players included from his club who contest next Sunday’s AIB Munster senior hurling final against Ballygunner in Semple Stadium.
The Limerick squad is packed with players from September’s All-Ireland U21 triumph. There are new additions to the senior panel from the starting side in that final win over Kilkenny in Darragh Fanning, Thomas Grimes and Barry Murphy.
Long-serving players Gavin O’Mahony and James Ryan have both retired since the close of the 2017 campaign.
