CIAN LYNCH IS named to start Limerick’s Allianz hurling league clash against Clare on Saturday.
The two-time Hurler of the Year made his return from injury off the bench for the All-Ireland champions in last weekend’s opening defeat to Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Lynch suffered a hamstring injury in last summer’s Munster championship win over Clare and was sidelined for a period. He returned as a second-half substitute against Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final, but injured his ankle in training the week before the showpiece against Kilkenny.
The Patrickswell star is also set to captain the side in Declan Hannon’s absence.
