Muskerry's Niall Gorey has been left out of the Munster Senior Interprovincial team which will defend the title at Rosapenna Hotel and Golf Resort from July 6-8.

Munster

  1. Pat Murray
  2. Eanna Griffin
  3. Ian O'Rourke
  4. Gary O'Flaherty
  5. John Hickey
  6. Dave O'Donovan
  7. Geoff Lenehan
  8. Robin Dawson

Eanna Griffin comes into the side after some excellent performances over the past 12 months which included reaching the semi finals of the South of Ireland last year and the final of this year's West of Ireland Championships.

The team features two changes from the line up that won at The Island last year. With Gary Hurley unavailable due to international duty, the other newcomer is Dave O'Donovan, who came out best alongside Gary O'Flaherty in what is seen as a two from three choice from the selectors that went against Gorey.

Considering Gorey and O'Donovan were unbeaten as they won the Barton Shield with Muskerry last year, leaving one of them out might seem foolhardy.

However, it's still a strong line up and Munster will again be fancied to lift the trophy.
