WE ARE INTO the knockout rounds of the National Hurling and Football leagues but at minor level, the hurling championship is about to get started. Limerick made a smashing run to the All-Ireland minor final last year where they lost to Kilkenny, and now two Munster rivals well get their provincial campaigns under way.

Tipperary face Waterford in the Munster minor championship quarter final tomorrow night and both sides have named strong teams.

The Premier County are able to call on four of last year’s panel in Stephen Quirke, Darragh Peters, Jack Skehan and Alan Tynan for the clash at Semple Stadium.

Waterford took Limerick to a replay in last year’s Munster minor final and it will be interesting to see if they can kick on from their appearance in the decider.

The throw in is fixed for 7pm.
