Minors face Waterford in Dungarvan

JUST over 24 hours after his two goals helped Kilmallock into the FAI under-17 National Cup final, Paul Donna captains the Limerick minor footballers into their make-or-break Munster Championship play-off game against Waterford this evening.
The corner-forward will be joined in the Limerick minor attack by his soccer team-mate Jake Mulcahy.
After last week’s loss to Cork, the Limerick minor footballers enter the backdoor stage this evening (6.30) in Fraher Field Dungarvan. If Limerick prevail this evening they will then face Tipperary on Saturday night.
Limerick manager John Colbert has made personel and positional changes from the side that lost 2-12 to 1-6 to Cork in Pairic Ui Chaoimh.
Mungret duo Jack Walsh and Michael Cussen now form the midfield partnership. Monaleen pair Sean Nicholas and Padraig Quinn are in defence while a third member of the club Darragh Bonfil is at full-forward. Into the team comes Newcastle West’s Thomas Quilligan to join his club-mate James Kelly in the forward unit.
