THOUGH LIMERICK OPTED for experience in naming no-newcomers in their starting XV, Tipperary manager Eamonn O’Shea has decided to hand championship débuts to three players ahead of their Munster Senior Hurling Championship semi-final tomorrow.
Cathal Barrett (Holycoss-Ballycahill) will start at corner-back while Upperchurch Drombane’s James Barry will make his first championship appearance for Tipp at number five.
