BREAKING: Limerick's Munster Hurling League fixture with Cork is postponed for a third time

LIMERICK'S Co-op Superstores Munster Hurling League clash scheduled to take place at Mick Neville Park this afternoon has been postponed.

Following an early morning pitch inspection at the Rathkeale venue, the game has yet again fallen by the wayside due to the heavy rain that fell overnight.

This is now the third time that the game has been postponed. The initial fixture in Mallow was cancelled due to heavy fog. The re-fixture in Mick Neville Park last Wednesday was also cancelled due to a frozen pitch.

With Limerick playing Tipperary in a charity game for the Dillon Quirke foundation next Sunday, and with the Allianz Hurling League beginning on February 4, it's difficult to see when and if the game will ever be played.

Waterford await in the final that had had been originally scheduled to take place this afternoon when the competition fixtures were released last month.

Elsewhere, Ballylanders' tie with Tipperary's Shannon Rovers in the Munster Junior B football competition has also been postponed due to the inclement weather. The game had been due to take place in Ballyagran this afternoon but will now have to be played at a later date.
