Limerick’s unbeaten championship record stretched to 14 games in Sunday’s Munster final but their last SHC defeat will make them wary of their July 3 All-Ireland semi-final, says Dan Morrissey.

It’s nearly three years since Limerick came off the back of a four-week break from a provincial success only to be surprised by Kilkenny in their last-four game. The same gap is in front of them now; the margin between the two competitions cited as a concern by John Kiely as early as last Christmas.
