Six changes have been announced to the Limerick side that began the win over Kilkenny for Saturday\u2019s Division 1, Round 4 clash with Tipperary in Thurles.<\/p>\n
Kyle Hayes is set to make his seasonal debut. Darragh O\u2019Donovan returns to the team. Colin Coughlan, Aidan O\u2019Connor and Shane O\u2019Brien are the other changes.<\/p>\n
Hayes has not played a game of competitive hurling since last September when he was injured lining out for Kildimo-Pallaskenry against Newcastle West last August.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old was hospitalised with a neck injury and concussion when he received a high tackle in the championship game in Rathkeale. John Kiely recently confirmed that the five-time All Star was in full training.<\/p>\n
Making way are Se\u00e1n Finn, Barry Nash, Diarmaid Byrnes, captain Cian Lynch, David Reidy and Hugh Flanagan. Finn, Byrnes, Lynch and Reidy are among the substitutes.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Limerick GAA received conditional planning permission for their proposed centre of excellence in Crecora. Just one observation was received from the public about the development on the 95-acre site, which is expected to include six floodlit natural grass pitches and an all-weather surface.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Con O\u2019Callaghan has been confirmed as the Dublin senior football captain for 2026. Eoin Murchan is vice-captain. It is Cuala man O\u2019Callaghan\u2019s second season as skipper.<\/p>\n
Chris Crummey once more leads the senior hurlers having held the position last season as well as in 2018 and \u201919. Paddy Smyth is his deputy. Both are included in the team to face Wexford in Saturday\u2019s Division 1B, Round 4 game in Croke Park.<\/p>\n
