THE ALL-IRELAND ROUND 2 hurling qualifier draw has taken place this morning with Davy Fitzgerald and TJ Ryan set to renew acquaintances.
The Clare and Limerick bosses saw their teams paired against each other with Kieran Kingston’s Cork set to face Liam Dunne’s Wexford.
Clare defeated Limerick in March’s Allianz hurling league clash in Ennis which settled the promotion battle from Division 1B.
In last Saturday’s qualifier games, Clare thrashed Laois while 14-man Limerick saw off Westmeath. Cork ran out three-point winners at home to Dublin while Wexford defeated Offaly.
The times and venues for the clashes which will take place next weekend, will be revealed later after a meeting of the GAA’s CCCC this afternoon.
It is likely to be a double-header with Thurles the most obvious venue to stage the games. In 2012 the four counties contested an All-Ireland senior hurling phase 3 qualifier double-header when Cork triumphed 3-24 to 2-17 against Wexford while Limerick beat Clare by 3-18 to 1-20.
Here’s confirmation of the games that are in store.

Shame for Barry o’mahoney, seemed a great ail player with a lot of potential. Always seemed like he was never given the opportunity he deserved with the first team
Going from one Winter to Another. Cead mile failte Prionsias.
Makes a difference from having to wait until October or November for a foreign arrival, exhausted after a Southern season. Couple this arrival with hopefully a fit and motivated Bleyandal and good service from the returning Tomás we could be looking quite decent in the backs during the World Cup period.
Niiice. Welcome fella.
Seriously this could be what Munster have been crying out for. Looks very exciting I have to say.
We think so. But you never know with these guys. JDV should have been our greatest signing but took a year to settle in. By the time we had figured him out (and he us), he was gone.
Wait until he sees the squad minus the Irish players.
” Is this it !”
Nice new photo Cian..
Could be worse, we could have a one season rookie in charge.
Errr…. thanks.
Hurley and Saili could be a very well balanced centre pairing
