Limerick boss Liam Kearns is without five of his key players for Sunday's visit of Leinster finalists Laois in the opening round of the National League.
Injury has deprived the Kerry native of the services of Stephen Lucey, John Galvin, Jason Stokes, Seamus O'Donnell and skipper Muiris Gavin.
Stephen Lavin is given the nod in the heart of defence, while Johnny Murphy leads the attack.
