MUNSTER SENIOR WINNERS James Ryan and Paudie O’Brien have not been named in the first Limerick senior hurling squad selected by new manager John Kiely, but there is a recall for attacker Seanie Tobin.
Kiely, who has taken over from TJ Ryan, has released his primary 39-man Limerick panel ahead of a 2017 season which will see them feature in Division 1B of the Allianz hurling league and face Clare in the Munster semi-final.
Garryspillane player Ryan and Kilmallock’s O’Brien are two well-known players not included with both starting in the 2013 Munster senior final triumph against Cork. Ryan is understood to be considering his inter-county future.

Murroe-Boher forward Tobin also played in that game but returns to the panel after departing last March due to a lack of game time in the spring.
Wayne McNamara has retired since the 2016 championship concluded while forward Kevin Downes is a long-term absentee after tearing his cruciate ligament injury.
New players that have been named include Kyle Hayes, who captained Limerick in September’s All-Ireland minor hurling final, and Stephen Cahill, who lined out for the Limerick senior footballers this summer.
Robbie Hanley and Robbie Egan – who played for Kilmallock in the 2015 All-Ireland senior club final – along with 2016 All-Ireland club victor with Na Piarsaigh, Peter Casey, are also drafted in.

Seamus Flanagan (Feohanagh-Castlemahon) and Lorcan Lyons (Monaleen) are other promising youngsters that are called up.
Kiely has included the entire Limerick starting side that he steered to glory in the 2015 All-Ireland U21 final victory against Wexford.

The panel is likely to be open-ended with club commitments set to potentially dictate involvement in the early stages of the 2017 season as Patrickswell and Monaleen are both featuring in Munster club clashes next Sunday.
