With just one win in 11 matches since they last beat Limerick in the league, Tipp look to draw a line in the sand

In 2018, Limerick had achieved what many believed was their main objective, getting promoted from Division 1B of the league, eight years after they had been relegated into it. They proved unexpectedly sticky for Tipperary to beat in the semi-final and it took extra time. Unbelievable as it might have appeared that day, Tipperary recovered to exploit Kilkenny’s ambush of Limerick in the 2019 All-Ireland semi-final and go on to lift Liam MacCarthy.
Tipperary have had a lively start to the season under Cahill and they sit second in the table on full points, separated from this weekend’s opponents by only scoring difference. Even more demoralising, seven months later, Tipp threw the kitchen sink at their opponents in the first half of a Munster final in Cork, watched by the maximum allowed 7,000, and having played exceptionally, led by 10. Manager Liam Sheedy said that, “Our first 35 minutes were as good as we have ever played. I thought we were outstanding”.
It is a feature of the matches between Tipperary and Limerick down the years that superiority goes in waves.
