First-half injuries to Cathal Barrett (hamstring) and Patrick Maher (knee) tempered Tipperary maintaining their 100% record as they and Limerick will meet again in a Munster final on Sunday week.

Cork’s Championship is well and truly back up-and-running after this fine victory over the All-Ireland champions in the LIT Gaelic Grounds.

John Meyler has reacted to Cork’s defeat to Tipperary by making four changes for tomorrow’s Munster SHC Round 2 in the LIT Gaelic Grounds.

Limerick took the honours in this NHL 1 semi-final, booking their place in the final with an efficient display.

An effective second-half by Clare ensured they will face Cork in a second successive Munster final as they easily dismissed a flat Limerick in Ennis.

John Kiely insisted that Limerick would have a “right cut off” Tipperary and so it transpired.

Two goals in the first half of extra-time from Jason Forde sent Tipperary to their second successive Division 1 final after a riveting clash in Thurles.

The 2018 hurling season began with goose-flesh, and bobble hats in chilly Mallow, a seasoned Limerick side enjoying a good win over an experimental Cork fifteen.

A superior Clare qualified for their first Munster final in nine years but not without difficulty as a combination of poor shooting and Limerick’s tenacity made them sweat until the end.

Limerick 0-24 Waterford 1-14: A 15-point swing saw Limerick beat Waterford in this Munster SHL clash in Dungarvan, but neither manager was losing the run of himself after this season opener.

Cork 2-15 Limerick 3-19: Limerick ran out comfortable winners in last night’s Munster U21 hurling championship clash with Cork in Pairc Ui Rinn, two late Cork goals giving the scoreboard a flattering look.

The loss of John O’Dwyer to an early red card didn’t deter Tipperary from confirming a second successive Munster final date with Waterford.

AMENDING Rule 42 to allow rugby and soccer be played in Croke Park has enhanced the profile of the GAA, according to president Sean Kelly.
