BREAKING: Kyle Hayes and Mike Casey among returning stars for Limerick's hurling league tie

THE Limerick senior hurling side to face Dublin in Saturday's Allianz Hurling League Division 1B fixture at Croke Park, 5.15pm, has been named.

A number of players from last year's All-Ireland final winning side has returned to the starting line-up, including defenders Mike Casey and Kyle Hayes. 

Title holders Limerick will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce in the league this season as the Shannonsiders return to the scene of their four-in-a-row All-Ireland final success of last July.
