Kiely is hoping Limerick can improve from last year's Allianz League campaign after they finished fifth in Division 1A.

“We have a lot to do to make sure we have our own ship in order going down to Walsh Park. It will be a big challenge, We’ve definitely a bit of confidence built into the group after the Munster League. We have to tap into that now.
