Mungret-St Paul's player named in Kerry side for Munster Hurling League clash with Waterford

MUNGRET ST PAUL'S have one player in action in tonight's Co-op Superstores Munster Hurling League clash between Kerry and Waterford at Austin Stack Park in Tralee.

Niall Mulcahy is named at half forward in Stephen Molumphy's Kerry side for the opening game of the pre-season competition. It is Mulcahy's third year with the Kingdom and he is joined by Kilmallock's Killian Hayes in the Kerry panel this year.

Hayes is a new addition to the Kingdom set-up where he is joined by fellow clubman Paudie O'Brien, who has come on board as a coach with Kerry this year.

Mulcahy has been a key cog in Mungret's rise in the last few years from Premier Intermediate, to Senior B and into Senior A for the 2024 season.That game has a 7.30pm start in Tralee.

Meanwhile, Limerick get their campaign in the competition underway when they face Cork in Mallow this coming Sunday. It will be the first outing for John Kiely's men since the All-Ireland win over Kilkenny last July. That game as a 2pm throw-in.

Limerick will then play Clare in their second game on Wednesday, January 10 in Sixmilebridge at 7pm. The final is due to take place on Sunday, January 21.
