LIMERICK CAPTAIN CIAN Lynch has been named on the bench, while Aaron Gillane will start in Sunday’s Munster SHC round 4 match against Waterford (TUS Gaelic Grounds, 3pm).
Lynch missed the 15-point demolition of Clare due to a suspension for his striking red card against Cork.
John Kiely makes two changes as Gillane comes in at corner-forward, with Tom Morrissey shifting to the bench.
Morrissey’s brother, Dan, is the other addition for his first start since March 1st. He comes in at full-back in place of Mike Casey.
With Lynch among the substitutes, the all-Doon midfield pairing of Adam English and Darragh O’Donovan remains intact. Paddy O’Donovan and Eddie Stokes drop off the bench.

Meanwhile, Liam Cahill has made two changes for their vital clash with Clare on Saturday (FBD Semple Stadium, 7pm).
Jason Forde and Craig Morgan are restored to the starting team after dropping to the bench among four late switches in Waterford three weeks ago.
Forde comes in for Sam O’Farrell, while Morgan replaces Séamus Kennedy at wing-back. Alan Tynan and Darragh McCarthy, who were the other late inclusions against the Déise, hold their positions.
Cahill has also included a bolter on the bench in U20 vice-captain Jamie Ormond. The younger brother of All-Star centre-forward Andrew scored 1-5 from play and netted his penalty in Wednesday’s Munster U20 final shoot-out defeat to Clare. Peter McGarry drops out of the matchday 26.

Brian Lohan has stuck with the same team that fell to a heavy defeat against Limerick.
A couple of forward tweaks see Shane O’Donnell named at wing-forward, Peter Duggan at centre-forward, Mark Rodgers at full-forward, and Tony Kelly in the corner.
David Fitzgerald returns to the bench alongside John Conneally as Daithí Lohan and Senan Dunford miss out.

Elsewhere, having lost Jordan Molloy to injury, Kilkenny have been boosted by two returning players for their game against Kildare.
Harry Shine has completed his cruciate rehab to make his first start in 12 months for Molloy in the sole change. He’s placed at corner-forward, with Eoin Cody to wear 11 and Cian Kenny in midfield.
Adrian Mullen is also included among the subs for his first involvement of 2026.
