They have handed starting jerseys to Eoin Quirke, Jason McCarthy, Kevin Hehir and Cathal Malone as they look to impress against Kerry in their first game of the 2017 Munster Hurling League.
All members of the first fifteen were part of the panel last season under Davy Fitzgerald while Stephen O’Halloran and Jamie Shanahan who departed the squad during the Sixmilebridge’s man tenure are listed among the substitutes.
