Brendan Cummins returns to the Tipperary team for Sunday's NHL match against Waterford at Semple Stadium. The dual player - who this year will concentrate on hurling - has been out of action since sustaining a serious leg injury six weeks ago.
He returns in goal at the expense of Kevin O'Brien who has had a difficult time in recent matches.
John Leahy and Conal Bonnar also miss out because of a hamstring injury and illness respectively. They are replaced by Paul Ormonde and Donncha Fahy - both returning from injury. Fahy moves into corner back with Eamonn Corcoran switching to the wing. Ormonde replaces Leahy at wing forward.
Cork make two changes to the side which had an easy win over Down last weekend.Sean O hAilpin returns after being released for the footballers' NFL quarter-final with Derry last Sunday. He resumes at left wing back with Pat Ryan returning to centrefield at the expense of Johnny Sheehan.
Brendan Coleman comes in for his first NHL appearance at left wing forward instead of Ben O'Connor the under-21 player whom he replaced during the Down match.
Ulster football manager Brian McEniff makes three changes in his team for Sunday's replayed Railway Cup semi-final against Munster at Omagh.
NFL semi-finalists Armagh's players have been excused from action with their match against Dublin coming up on Sunday week. Into the team come Sean Martin Lockhart, Tony Boyle and Eoin Gormley. All Star full back Lockhart and Boyle were originally in the panel for the trip to Killarney but had to pull out because of injuries.
Doubtful, however, for Sunday's clash is Anthony Tohill who is suffering from a knee injury following a heavy fall in last Sunday's league quarterfinal against Cork at Croke Park.
Tohill is receiving treatment on the damaged and a decision on his fitness will not be taken until Sunday.
"If there is any chance that Anthony's knee is not fully recovered, I will not play him" said manager McEniff. Cork are in a similar situation to Armagh since they will play Meath in the league semi-finals on April 24th, but manager Larry Tompkins has passed his players to play in Omagh if selected.Meath have lost their hurling manager Seamus Carney who has stepped down after a disappointing NHL campaign. Heavy defeats by Carlow and Westmeath have been exacerbated by a controversy involving Kevin Dowd, brother of All-Ireland winning football captain Tommy who has been threatened with suspension after opting to play soccer rather line out for the county hurlers.
County junior and under-21 coach Noel Keating will take charge of the senior team for next Sunday's NHL match with Roscommon in Trim.
