In-form Limerick turn on the style to send Tipp tumbling

Limerick 2-14 Tipperary 1-6

Hurling with tremendous passion and skill, the Shannonsiders' victory sets up an interesting final against Cork at the end of June.

Interesting in that Limerick are coached by Corkman Declan Fitzgerald, who hails from Buttevant. A schoolteacher in Castletroy Community School, Fitzgerald spent a number of years with St. Colman's College during their Harty Cup glory years but will now find himself on opposite sides to his mentor and Cork minor coach Denis Ring. Tipperary went into the game with good credentials, but ran up against a bang in form Limerick side who, on the evidence of this performance, will test champions Cork in the final.
