Limerick are well represented after their historic win against Wicklow on Sunday afternoon. Jimmy Lee's side staged a remarkable comeback in the final 20 minutes to win by four points, on a scoreline of 2-18 to 1-17. 

Josh Ryan is included in goals after a heroic performance which included a second-half penalty save and as well as four points for the Oola native (two two-point efforts).

Jason Hassett and Tony McCarthy are included in defense for their contributions. Hassett was solid throughout whilst McCarthy kicked two fine scores from wing-back. 

Barry Coleman is included at centre-forward for his performance. The Rathkeale native was introduced as a second-half substitute and kicked two vital points for the Shannonsiders.

Danny Neville was also included for his contribution of 1-2. The lively full-forward finished smartly to the back of the net after a quarter of an hour to give the 'Treaty County' an ideal start. 

Sunday's win for Limerick sets up a Tailteann Cup final date with Kildare on Saturday, July 12 at Croke Park.
