Tipperary boss Liam Sheedy has handed out two starting debuts for this Sunday's NHL Division One clash against strugglers Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds.

David Young and Timmy Hammersley will make their first league starts for their county at senior level this weekend and are just two of eight changes to the side which defeated Galway by 2-17 to 0-14 last weekend.

Portroe's Darren Gleeson comes into goal for the Premier men, while Paul Curran and Diarmuid Fitzgerald are drafted into the full-back line for the trip to the Shannonsiders. The two other personnel switches in defence see Young in at right half-back and Nenagh's Hugh Maloney on the opposite flank.

In attack, Gearoid Ryan starts on the left wing, with Micheal Webster named at full-forward and Hammersley, who impressed Sheedy with WIT during the Fitzgibbon Cup, top of the left.
