JOHN KIELY HAS named seven of the side who featured in Limerick’s All-Ireland final success over Kilkenny for Saturday’s Allianz hurling league opener with Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh [throw-in, 7.30pm].

Cian Lynch is set to make his return from injury off the bench for the All-Ireland champions, who are captained by centre-back Declan Hannon in his first appearance of 2023.

David McCarthy makes his first appearance in the league for The Treaty after starting both of their Munster league games.

For Cork, debutants Conor O’Callaghan, Eoin Downey, Brian O’Sullivan and Cormac Beausang were all included in Pat Ryan’s side — named earlier on Thursday evening — to start in the Division 1A outing.

Corner-back O’Callaghan captained Cork to the All-Ireland U20 hurling title in 2020 while Downey and O’Sullivan started on Cork team that won the 2021 All-Ireland U20 hurling title. Beausang won the Cork senior hurling championship with Midleton.
