Limerick and Clare will contest the Munster hurling final while Waterford’s Championship hopes hang by a thread after a damaging defeat at home to Cork.
A draw between Limerick and Clare in Ennis means that they both will occupy the top two spots in the Munster group, meaning that there is nothing at stake for Clare in their final round robin game at home to Waterford next Sunday.
There’s lots riding on it for Waterford but even a victory for them may not be enough to slip into third place and an All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final as a win for Cork in Thurles would ensure that they edge finish ahead of the Deise on the head-to-head rule after their six-point win at Walsh Park.
