Joe Quaid's Limerick side face Clare in a crucial All-Ireland senior championship Group 1 round 3 fixture at Zimmer Biomet Cusack Park in Ennis on Saturday next, 2pm, a game which will effectively decided which of the Munster rivals advances to the quarter-finals of the championship. 

Following Saturday's victory over Wexford in Rathkeale, Limerick manager Joe Quaid said: “Next weekend is basically a preliminary quarter-final. Whoever wins goes through so the stakes don’t get much higher.

“We suffered a terrible defeat last week (against Cork) but maybe we took our eye off the ball as well. We were never going to beat Cork, but since the draw, this is the game we’ve been focusing on for the past six months.

“We knew we had to win, we didn’t care if we won ugly or great. The workrate out of them girls today was just phenomenal, talk about having each other’s backs! Ciara O’Riordan got a block in late on with her back, they died for each other on the pitch today and they are a great bunch.

“We’ve 15 new girls on the panel this year and for them to achieve that is unreal. They train every bit as hard and give as much commitment as the Limerick senior hurlers and a day like today, in front of their supporters, is just fantastic. They got to show the people of Limerick what kind of characters they are.”
