The penultimate weekend of the Munster Senior Hurling Championship group stage is upon us.

As per usual, there is still an awful lot to be decided and second up this weekend is the clash between Limerick and Waterford.

Depending on how the weekend's first game between Tipperary and Clare finishes, both sides will have a clearer picture of what result they will need.

For Waterford, who are bottom of the table with just one point after three games, they will be out of the Championship before a ball is even thrown-in should Clare win in Thurles.

In fact, a Clare victory at Semple Stadium followed by Limerick winning at home against the Déise would mean Cork, Limerick, and Clare would be immovable from the top three heading into Round 5 on the weekend of May 23/24.

All that would then be left up for grabs across the Cork-Clare and Limerick-Tipp final round games is the make-up of the provincial hurling decider.

So it promises to be another Munster hurling thriller and a decisive weekend in the Championship.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of throw-in.

Where is the game being played?

TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick is the venue for the game.

What time is throw-in?

Throw-in has been set for 3pm on Sunday, May 17.

Where to watch?

Limerick v Waterford will be broadcast live on GAA+ but you can also follow the best of the action on the Irish Examiner’s new and improved liveblog.

Who’s the referee?

James Owens from Wexford will be the man in the middle.
