Replying To Yadse:  "Hayes was always talked up as a potential center back for Limerick - even when he was in the forwards
I guess the argument for is his physicality, and playing CB its harder to play around him like Cork did in the semi last year
Dont think he is as good a ball distributor as Hannon, and the big unknown is whether his legal difficulties might mean he doesnt even play this year.
Nash I am sure is a possibility, but he adds a different dimension to our FB line. Richie English is retired, Finns form still TBD, and Casey seems to be slowing down so not sure we have as many options in FB line as the half back line.
Management knows these players inside out and I am sure they have plenty of options in mind

And maybe Hannon is coming to the end, but he will still play a role - without captaincy and if fully fit he could nail down that starting spot again."
Your forgetting about Fergal O'Connor in the full back line, he needs a full 5 or 6 games in the league this year to get experience playing against top players. If he nails down a corner back spot that would release Barry Nash for out the field. O'Connor is very similar to Nash as an attacking corner back and has a lot of pace.

Is in a club field or where is the match on?
If it's on at a club field, I would imagine the club will be the main benefactors from the entrance fee?

As far as I can see its on in the Gaelic Grounds but I stand corrected. If its on there then once again the County Board showing very little respect to the genuine Limerick Supporter in my opinion.

That isn't a lack of respect for anyone. There is costs to run any game especially in a large stadium. Between steward/security/any retail or hospitality etc etc. A tenner isn't that much and it's ploughed back into the sport so wheres the issue
