This year’s Limerick senior, intermediate and junior club football winners will receive a bye to the Munster semi-finals courtesy of the county’s qualification for Saturday week’s Tailteann Cup final.

The Munster Council last week granted a request from the Limerick County Board to afford their teams a pass from playing in the opening round of the club competitions by virtue of reaching inter-county football’s second tier championship decider against Kildare on July 12.
