HURLING SHOWPIECES SET FOR GAELIC GROUNDS AND CROKE PARK
Two of hurling’s great occasions are whetting the appetite for supporters as they look forward to the Munster and Leinster finals next Sunday.
Apart from the honour of being crowned provincial champions, the winners get the added prize of direct entry to the All-Ireland semi-finals while the losers advance to the quarterfinals.
It’s all set up for a double-spectacular in Limerick and Croke Park as follows:
- Munster final: Clare v Limerick, TUS Gaelic Grounds, 1.45pm
- Leinster final: Galway v Kilkenny, Croke Park, 4.00pm
CLARE v LIMERICK
Limerick are bidding to win the Munster title for the 24th time; Clare are seeking their
seventh success.
They meet in the final for a second successive year; Limerick won by three points after extra time last year.
Clare won three and lost one of their four Munster games this year. Limerick won two, drew one and lost one of their four games.
GALWAY v KILKENNY
Kilkenny are bidding for a fourth successive Leinster title while Galway last won in 2018.
Kilkenny won three, drew one and lost one of their five ‘round robin’ games this year; Galway won three and drew two, one of which was against Kilkenny in a Round 2 clash in Nowlan Park.
