FIXTURE | Limerick’s Munster Hurling Cup Final fixture against Clare confirmed

The sides meet this Sunday in the decider of the provincial pre season competition.

Cusack Park in Ennis has been confirmed as the venue for the Munster Hurling Cup Final between Limerick and Clare.

The game will also take place this Sunday, January 23 at 2pm, having been previously slated for Saturday.

Tickets for the game will go on sale at 10am on Wednesday morning and will also be streamed live by Sporting Limerick’s sister company, Stream Sport Ireland.

Limerick qualified by virtue of a 4-29 to 0-11 win over Kerry in the TUS Gaelic Grounds yesterday. Clare booked their place in the final 24 hours previously with a 2-24 to 1-22 victory against Waterford at this weekend’s venue.

These teams met in the decider of the competition in 2018 where the Treaty outfit secured a 0-16 to 0-10 win. Limerick went on to win the All-Ireland title later that year.

Limerick will have a number of players in Fitzgibbon Cup action this week, with their availability in question as Kiely outlined in the wake of the Kerry win.

“The Fitzgibbon cup is on so we’re releasing lads for that. So there’s a bit of a balancing act going on.”

Involved in that competition that featured on Sunday are Jerome and Conor Boylan, Ronan Connolly, Rory Duff and Brian O’Grady to name a few. Cian Lynch, who wasn’t part of the squad at the weekend after helping NUIG to the League title last week, will be in action for college on Wednesday.
