Tipp to face Limerick as Rebels await the outcome

FOR the first time since 2007, Cork and Tipperary have not been drawn against one another in the Munster SH championship.

However, last night’s draw in Croke Park saw the counties picked out on the same side of the 2012 draw, with the winners of Tipperary and Limerick facing Jimmy Barry Murphy’s men in the semi-final.

After facing Cork in the first round stage for the last three years, Munster champions Tipperary will again have to take the longest way to claim the provincial crown.
