It’s a perfect watch to get you in the mood for the most anticipated weekend in the hurling calendar.

Limerick going for the elusive two-in-a-row and Cork looking to ruin the party.

Finals are Cork’s expertise with their impressive 61% final win ratio, only beaten by Tipperary (68%) and Kerry’s 100% record in their only hurling final in 1891.

As for Limerick, they’ve won exactly half of their 18 finals but they are favoured to take the Liam MacCarthy home on Sunday.
