CAHERLINE will have home advantage this Saturday afternoon as they get the rare opportunity to play a championship game on their own pitch.
The east Limerick side enter the Munster series as county champions Doon’s second string are ineligible for the provincial championship.
They welcome Kerry intermediate champions Dr Crokes to Caherconlish on Saturday at 1.15pm.
The rare home championship match promises to be a wonderful occasion for the men in blue and white.
A traditional football powerhouse, Killarney side Crokes will have a point to prove with the small ball that they compete outside the Kerry borders.
The Limerick men will know they have to have their wits about them on Saturday however - back in 2007 the east division side were beaten in the Munster JHC by Kingdom side Kilgarvan.
They also played in the provincial championship in 2021 where they suffered a two-point defeat Cork side Ballygiblin.
The Avondhu club went all the way to the All-Ireland final that season.
