Limerick’s 2020 Munster Championship pathway revealed

Limerick will kick start their 2020 Munster Senior Hurling Championship campaign next season away to Cork.

The defending Munster champions will entertain Waterford and All-Ireland Champions Tipperary at LIT Gaelic Grounds and will make the trip to Cork and Clare.
