AFTER a long enforced absence, Declan Hannon returns to captain Limerick for Saturdayโ€™s lunchtime National Hurling League outing with Galway at Pearse Park, 1.15pm.

In his first outing since last Summerโ€™s epic Munster Final defeat of Clare at the Gaelic Grounds, Hannon has been chosen at centre-back, alongside Cathal Oโ€™Neill and Colin Coughlan.

Another returnee is Seรกn Finn, who has been named among the replacements.

Limerick are unbeaten in four startsย this season, and a win here would assure the team of a semi-final berth the following weekend.
