Ger Browne, Paudie Feehan, Mark Kehoe and Jake Morris all got game-time with Michael Ryan’s seniors this year and will be key figures as the Premier U21s look to deny Limerick a third provincial final appearance in four years.

The Tipperary team includes 12 of the starting 15 All-Ireland minor winning team from 2016.

Limerick boss Pat Donnelly has also named a strong side. The team includes Kyle Hayes, Seamus Flanagan and Barry Murphy, all of whom played in the Munster SHC earlier this month.

Peter Casey, named at corner-forward, didn’t appear in this year’s senior championship yet as he battles back from injury. He’s set to make his first competitive appearance since Na Piarsaigh’s All-Ireland club final replay loss to Cuala in March.

Casey is also part of John Kiely’s senior panel, alongside Hayes, Flanagan, Murphy, Paddy O’Loughlin, Oisin O’Reilly and William O’Meara. In total, the Shannonsiders boast 15 members of last year’s All-Ireland U21 winning squad.
