In the Intermediate championship, the Limerick representative will face Clare or Kerry opponents on November 19/20.

The Junior championship begins on October 5/6 with the Limerick kingpins to be in action a fortnight later. They will have a Clare or Kerry opponent for company where a Banner winner would ensure Limerick have home advantage. 2021 Junior Champions Caherline were beaten by eventual champions Ballygiblin.

Last year, Newcastle West were defeated by Austin Stacks in the semi-final. This year’s final will be played on the weekend of December 10/11.

The Limerick champions will be in quarter-final action in the Intermediate Championship where they will be paired with the Waterford representatives on November 12/13. The Limerick side will have home advantage for the clash. Kildimo Pallaskenry were beaten by Corofin in last year’s quarter-final.
