Joe McKenna's Limerick are on course to make the League semi-finals

Limerick custodain Timmy Houlihan will resume between the posts for the Limerick in their Allianz National Hurling League clash with Laois at Portlaoise on Sunday.

Houlihan, from the Adare club, and winner of three All-Ireland under 21 medals, had not figured this season, with the management showing preference for Patrickswell's Brian Murray.

That is the only change in personnel from the team which drew with Kilkenny in their last outing, with regular centre-back Stephen Lucey, once more lining out at centre forward, a position in which he impressed manager Joe McKenna against the
Noresiders.

Limerick, who complete their League programme away to Antrim, are favouried to reach the knock out stages. They have now gone 10 games unbeaten.

Limerick team: T Houlihan; D Reale, TJ Ryan, M. Foley, O Moran, B Geary, M O'Riordan; P O'Grady, D O'Grady M. O'Brien, S Lucey, C Fitzgerarld, A O'Shaughnessy, B Begley, M Keane.
