Limerick GAA confirm club championship starts before All-Ireland hurling final

LIMERICK GAA fixture planners are to push ahead with the start of the local club championship ahead of the All-Ireland SHC final.

The opening round of the county senior, intermediate and junior football championship is to take place this coming weekend.

There are 15 fixtures across the top four grades of Limerick club football.

Senior football champions Adare are among those in first round action - they play 2019 finalists Oola. 

Claughaun will return the Limerick senior football ranks for the first time since 2010 when the 14-time senior champions play last year's beaten SFC finalists Ballylanders.

In the intermediate ranks, relegated Dromcollogher-Broadford play their first game in the grade since 1999.
