BARRY NASH WILL not start a Championship game for Limerick for the first time since 2019 when the All-Ireland champions take on Cork in Sunday’s semi-final.
The last time the injured corner-back did not start for Limerick was the 2019 All-Ireland semi-final, which the Munster side lost to Kilkenny.
And this is the first time the South Liberties man hasn’t been on a Limerick matchday panel for a Championship game since the 2019 Munster round-robin game against Tipperary, which Limerick also lost.
In more positive news for John Kiely, Sean Finn is fit and returns to the champions’ defence in place of Nash. Seamus Flanagan starts at full-forward ahead of Shane O’Brien.
Darragh O’Donovan and Richie English are both named on the bench.
