Limerick’s twelve team senior hurling championship got underway over the weekend, with many of John Kiely’s inter-county stars shining for their clubs. As has been the case since 2018, the top four in group one advance to the knockout stages, while the top-two in the second group secure a quarter-final berth.

Last season saw the semi-final monopoly held by Na Piarsaigh, Kilmallock, Doon and Patrickswell was broken with South Liberties defeated the Well. Adare (2009) were the last club outside of Na Piarsaigh, Patrickswell and Kilmallock to lift the John Daly Cup.
