Will Limerick’s rest week prove pick-me-up or passion killer to Munster hopes?

Too early for Limerick folk to be dreaming of Croke Park in late July. Too early for Cork folk to be worrying about those questions Galway may ask them that Tipperary only half-asked them. Too early to be viewing tonight as anything other than a clash of neighbours and rivals. There will be plenty of time afterwards to tease out the implications.

A Bank Holiday’s worth of time.

Too early also to be pondering the significance of the scheduling of the fixture, which will have some hand, act or part in the outcome but which similarly can only be gauged after the fact.
