Limerick learn Munster Football and Hurling opponents

The draws for the Munster Senior Football and Hurling Championships were made this morning.

Three in a row seeking Limerick are giving a bye into the semi-finals of the Munster Hurling championship where they meet Cork.

Limerick haven’t beaten Cork in the Munster championship since the 2013 final.

Tipperary await the winners of Clare and Waterford in the other side of the draw.

Billy Lee’s footballers were drawn with Waterford in the quarter-finals, avoiding Kerry who are to play Clare.

The winner of that tie between Limerick and the Deise will face last year’s finalists Cork in the semi-final.

Last year, Limerick were comprehensive 2-14 to 0-9 winners over Waterford at the same stage in the Fraher Fields.

That game is scheduled to be played on the weekend of June 26/27.
