What's the current form guide?

This top of the table clash has two sides on winning runs. Limerick have won three-in-a-row for the first time since February 2024. John Kiely's men are unbeaten since slipping up in their league opener against Waterford.

The Rebels are the form team in the country at the moment. They have four wins from four and - no matter the result on Saturday - with already-relegated Offaly coming to Supervalu Pairc Ui Chaoimh in the last round, Cork are all but certain to reach the league final.
