The second semi-final will see Limerick, the five-in-a-row chasing All-Ireland senior hurling kingpins, taking on Cork on Sunday 7 July at 4pm.

The fixture will evoke memories of the 2018 extra-time epic between the counties at the semi-final stage. They also played out a memorable contest in the Munster championship in May, Cork winning out after a dramatic late goal from a penalty by Patrick Horgan.

Limerick recently won the Munster senior hurling championship for the sixth year in a row, Cork have emerged through the backdoor and they won today’s quarter-final against Dublin by 0-26 to 0-21.
