Tipperary's U20 hurlers name first team of the year ahead of Munster opener with Limerick
Tipperary will face Limerick in the Munster U20 Hurling Championship on Tuesday evening
The Tipperary U20 team to face Limerick in their Munster Championship opener on Tuesday evening has been revealed.
A hugely experienced team has been named by Brendan Cummins and his management team with 13 of the starters playing roles in the Munster title win last year, and the run to the All-Ireland final last summer.
Senior panelists Darragh McCarthy, Sam O'Farrell, Oisin O'Donoghue, Aaron O'Halloran, and Conor Martin all feature, while young Adam Ryan makes the starting team in just his first year out of minor hurling; a star player for the minor hurlers All-Ireland win in 2024.
Also from that minor team, we see the inclusion of Cathal O'Reilly, David Ryan, and Daire English on the bench, while Robbie Ryan, Jack Hayes, and Cormac Fitzpatrick are included in the 26, fresh from their recent Croke Cup success.
