Aaron Gillane has been named to start for Limerick in Sunday's All-Ireland final against Waterford.

The Patrickswell club man was a doubt for the last two weeks, after he sustained an injury during the semi-final win over Galway. Treaty selector Donal O'Grady last week rated the free-taker's chances of recovering in time as '50-50'.

But he now looks set to feature from throw-in, in what is a major boost to Limerick's chances.

Peter Casey once again misses out, despite a strong showing as a substitute against the Tribesmen, as Seamus Flanagan and Graeme Mulcahy are named alongside Gillane in the full-forward line.
