John Anthony Moran can expect a call-up from Limerick hurling manager Eamon Cregan for next Sunday's Oireachtas clash against Wexford. Moran, a former minor and under-21 star at county level, spent the last three years with Na Phairsaigh in Cork but has now transferred back to his native Bruff. He was invited by Cregan to attend recent training sessions.
