Live TV coverage confirmed for Limerick's Munster Senior Hurling Championship clash with Cork

LIMERICK'S round four Munster Senior Hurling Championship clash against Cork will be shown live on RTÉ2. The action gets underway on Sunday May 18 at 4pm in the TUS Gaelic Grounds. 

This will be the Shannonsiders first game this year in the Munster SHC that will be shown on terrestrial television. Limerick senior hurling manager John Kiely has urged as many supporters as possible to get behind his side in their crucial round four Munster senior hurling Championship clash with Cork.

“It's a brilliant part of the Munster championship but I can tell you, I'm sending the message out to our supporters that we're at home, it's our home ground and we want to hear them the next day and hear every single last one of them. 

“We want them to take the seats and fill the seats. We look forward to seeing them in two weeks' time,” Limerick senior hurling manager Kiely said.

The round four Munster SHC clash between Limerick and Cork is set to be a sell-out at the Ennis Road venue.

The Shannonsiders and Rebels sit at the top of the round robin table on three points each. Waterford are behind them on two points, while Tipperary and Clare are on one point each.

Limerick have a break this weekend in the Munster championship. Tipperary and Clare face-off on Saturday in Ennis in what is effectively a knockout clash between the counties.

Limerick defeated Waterford 0-28 to 0-22 in round three of the Munster SHC on last Saturday evening in Walsh Park. Kiely was impressed with his side's performance. 

Sean Finn and Dan Morrissey wre brought into the starting XV. Meanwhile, Kyle Hayes made the switch back into the Limerick defence and William O'Donoghue moved back out to midfield.

“I think structurally, we were extremely sound. Defensively, extremely strong. Our full-back line was absolutely excellent. Our half-back line controlled the ball in the air really, really well. And I just thought our energy going forward was exceptional, so very, very happy. We worked hard. Our intensity throughout the game was really, really high. That's something we've noticed in the championship this year, that the intensity levels in all teams have gone way up."

Despite, Limerick's victory over Waterford, Kiely still feels there are a number of work-ons for his side.

“We know we’ve got things to work on. We’ve got to improve our work on our puck-outs and the opposition puck-outs. We’ve got to improve our efficiency in our shooting as well, but we’ll get there.”

Peter Casey and Barry Murphy were absent from the fixture against Waterford due to injury. However, both players are dealing with only minor injury issues.
