Limerick minor hurlers head to Tipperary bidding to maintain their 100% record

THE LIMERICK minor hurling side are back in action this Tuesday evening when they take on Tipperary at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

Manager Evan Loftus has led the minor hurlers to two wins from their two games so far and they head into the trip to Tipperary on the back of a three-week break.

His side have seen off Waterford in Dungarvan in extremely difficult conditions in their opening game and then beat Clare by four points in an epic encounter a week later.

Garryspillane's Hugh Flanagan sent over five points from play in that win over Clare, while Murroe-Boher's Darren Collopy hit form with 10 points. Limerick are captained by Dromin-Athlacca's Sean Morrissey.

Tipperary have lost both games, against Cork and Clare, so far in the competition and will be looking to get back on track against Limerick.

The game with Tipperary this evening begins at 7pm and is being live streamed by Munster GAA.
