What's that coming over the hill? Is it a Munster? It is. And a Leinster too. The hurling championship is back and it’s shaping to be a novel one. For the first time in what feels like forever, Limerick are not the favourites. Though that honour/curse hasn’t shifted to champions Clare but the beaten finalists Cork, who stopped the five-in-a-row bid at the penultimate stage.

John Kiely says he is facing a tough call as to who will replace Nickie Quaid in goal for Limerick's Munster SHC opener against Tipperary on Sunday. Quaid has played a key role in the Treaty's phenomenal success since 2018 - he has been nominated for an All-Star award in the last five seasons, winning three times - but the 35-year-old suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in November while playing soccer to keep fit.
