Second chance for all in new Munster minor stucture

Clare received a bye to the semi-finals in this year’s campaign, but lost to Tipperary and were out, while Limerick made it to the All-Ireland series despite losing twice – to Cork in the provincial quarter-final and then to Tipp in the Munster decider.
Under the new system, each team will have the benefit of a second chance, while repeat meetings – as with Cork and Limerick this year – will be avoided too. With Kerry not taking part, there are five teams in the Munster MHC. For 2016, four teams will be drawn to play in the quarter-finals, with the two winners reaching the semi-finals.
