Hayes, a five-time All-Ireland SHC victor, finds himself excluded from the 26-man squad as he awaits sentencing following his involvement in a violent disorder incident on March 20. This decision underscores the team’s commitment to maintaining discipline both on and off the field, prioritizing accountability and fair play.
Limerick manager John Kiely has made significant adjustments to the squad in light of Hayes’ absence. The team that delivered a commanding performance against Dublin sees five changes, with notable inclusions such as Aaron Gillane, the reigning Hurler of the Year, and Cian Lynch, a two-time recipient of the same accolade. As they make their debut starts of the season, their presence adds depth and experience to the lineup, reinforcing Limerick’s pursuit of excellence in the Allianz Hurling League. This strategic reshuffling reflects Kiely’s astute management style, ensuring that the team remains competitive and dynamic in the face of challenges.
