Crecora-Manister youngster Cathal O'Neill will make his league debut for Limerick against Galway at Pearse Stadium on Sunday.

O'Neill has been impressive in attack with the county's underage sides in recent seasons and made the step into John Kiely's senior squad this year.

Key duo Cian Lynch and Gearoid Hegarty are both named from the start this time after coming off the bench to good effect in their drawn encounter with Tipperary last Saturday.

Limerick (Allianz HL Division 1 v Galway): Nickie Quaid; Aaron Costello, Dan Morrissey, Richie English; Diarmaid Byrnes, Kyle Hayes, Barry Nash; William O’Donoghue, Brian O’Grady; Gearoid Hegarty, Cian Lynch, David Reidy; Cathal O’Neill, Seamus Flanagan, Peter Casey.

Subs: Barry Hennessy, Conor Boylan, Adrian Breen, Colin Coughlan, Sean Finn, Aaron Gillane, Robbie Hanley, Tom Morrissey, Darragh O’Donovan, Mark Quinlan, Brian Ryan.
