A DRAW with Cork in tonight’s Munster Minor Hurling Championship at the TUS Gaelic Grounds (7pm, Munster GAA TV) will earn Limerick direct entry into the final on Tuesday, May 9.
Unbeaten in three starts, Evan Loftus’ side are already guaranteed a semi-final spot, but preference would surely be for automatic final qualification.
Into the team come Adare pair Darragh Gleeson and Patrick Kearney.
Joe Mullins of Clare will referee.
