Two changes as Limerick minor hurlers name team for All-Ireland quarter-final
Saturday is a rematch of the April round robin clash at Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg in Ennis
Limerick have named their team for Saturday’s All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship quarter-final clash with Clare - with Diarmuid Mullins making two changes from the Munster final defeat.
The clash at FBD Semple Stadium throws in at 1pm.
Zach Bennis (Kildimo-Pallaskenry) and Rian Horgan (Murroe-Boher) both come into the full-forward line in place of Danny O’Grady and Daire Long.
Bennis gets a second start of the campaign, having started in the defeat to Waterford early in the campaign.
Horgan also started against the Deise, as well as the round robin loss against the Premier. He was introduced as a sub in the win over Cork as well as the Munster final loss.
Saturday is a rematch of the April round robin clash at Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg where goals from Gavin O’Brien and Shane Waters helped Mullins’ young side to a deserved win.
Clare progressed to this round with a come-from-behind win against Dublin last weekend. Goals from Ben Talty and two from Gearoid Madden secured the win for the Banner.
