PREVIEW: Limerick face Tipp looking for a Munster football final place

Limerick welcome Tipperary to the LIT Ggaelic Grounds this Saturday in the Munster Football semi-final at 1.15pm.

It is a repeat of last year’s quarter-final where Limerick picked up a first win in the Munster championship in seven years.

Limerick were full value for a 3-11 to 1-10 win over the Premier in Semple Stadium with goals from Iain Corbett, Cillian Fahy and Peter Nash proving crucial.

Limerick would fall in the semi-finals and are looking for a place in the decider for the first time since 2010.

Tipperary were victorious in the sides previous meeting in 2014 as they ran out 2-14 to 1-11 winners in the LIT Gaelic Grounds.

Tipp beat Clare 2-11 to 1-11 in their respective quarter final last weekend with Conor Sweeney and Bill Maher getting the goals.

They also won their two league games after the lockdown to preserve their Division 3 status.

Limerick have won their last two games after losing their first game after the restart.

They were comfortable 2-14 to 0-9 winners over Waterford in Dungarven last Saturday.

The winners of the clash will move into the Munster final in a fortnight’s time where they will play the winner of Cork and Kerry who meet on Sunday.
