Colm Collins and Éamonn Fitzmaurice have announced their starting fifteens for Sunday’s Munster SFC semi-final in Killarney.

Collins has gone for an unchanged side from that which defeated Limerick by twelve points in their championship opener two weeks ago. Meelick’s Kevin Hartnett was reported to be back training having missed the entire league but he hasn’t been deemed fit enough to be included at full-back.
