Aidan O'Connor the sole change for Limerick for their Munster SHC final clash with Cork
Aidan O'Connor has been introduced to the Limerick team for Saturday's Munster SHC final against Cork. From the team that defeated Cork last month, the Monaleen man is the only change for Shane O'Brien, who is among the 11 players on the bench. O'Connor came off the bench for Kilmallock man O'Brien in the dead rubber game against Clare last Sunday week. The team shows eight changes from the side that lost that game in TUS Gaelic Grounds. All eight who step out of the team are in the matchday panel. Read More Limerick v Cork: What time, what channel and all you need to know about the Munster SHC final LIMERICK (SHC v Cork): N.

Kilmallock edge Na Piarsaigh to earn Limerick SHL glory
Limerick Senior Hurling League final: Kilmallock 0-18 Na Piarsaigh 0-15 Kilmallock are Limerick senior hurling League champions for 2025 after they saw off Na Piarsaigh on an 0-18 to 0-15 scoreline at Claughaun. Conor Staunton starred for 'The Balbec' with an impressive 0-8, his two efforts from play the highlight of what was a contest that never really got going. Both teams were without a litany of starters that one would expect to see come championship in a game that Kilmallock deservedly came out victorious. Pierce Connery got the scoring underway after two minutes but a Ronan Lynch free brought Na Piarsaigh level moments later. Kilmallock, aided by a strong first half breeze, took control from the moment that Graeme Mulcahy put his side back in front. Further scores from Connery and Staunton then saw Kilmallock open a 0-4 to 0-1 advantage with six minutes on the clock. Keith Dempsey stopped the Kilmallock wave with a free but Connery and Staunton restored dominance for the south Limerick outfit. Connery excelled in the first half and his fourth point inside the opening quarter cancelled out a fine Mark Hogan score for Na Piarsaigh. That lead was stretched to five when Kilmallock keeper Conor Hanley-Clarke fired over a long-range free. Oisin O'Reilly made it a six-point lead as the half drew to a close but a Lynch free saw the score at 0-10 to 0-5 in Kilmallock's favour at the break. Lynch kept Na Piarsaigh in touch in the early stages of the second half with a couple of frees but Staunton always had a response for Kilmallock. The lead was at three when the game entered the final quarter but strikes from Mulcahy and Staunton, either side of a Lynch placed ball, handed Kilmallock a four-point buffer. Dempsey (2) and Adrian Breen gave Na Piarsaigh hope as the game headed towards its conclusion but a Staunton free and a superb O'Reilly point from play saw Kilmallock home to victory. Scorers for Kilmallock: C Staunton 0-8 (5f, 1'65), P Connery 0-4, O O'Reilly 0-3, G Mulcahy 0-2, C Hanley-Clarke 0-1 (1f). Scorers for Na Piarsaigh: R Lynch 0-7 (7f), K Dempsey 0-4 (3f), Mark Hogan, G Brown, D Lynch and A Breen 0-1 each. Kilmallock: C Hanley-Clarke; D O'Brien, L English, D Joy; R Egan, A Costello; A Enright; S Quirke, G Enright; S Carroll, C Staunton, G Mulcahy; P Connery, O O'Reilly, S Dowling.

Na Piarsaigh: P O'Neill; A Dempsey, S Long, P Heaney; A Fitzsimons, R Lynch, T Grimes; J Finn, J O'Keeffe; JJ Carey, K Dempsey, G Brown; Mark Hogan, K Daly, D Lynch.

Limerick v Clare LIVE score updates from Munster Hurling Championship clash
Limerick take on Clare this afternoon in matchday five of the Munster Hurling Championship. The Treaty looked back to their best last time out as they put Cork to the sword to all but book their place in the Munster final. Defending All-Ireland champions Clare are already out of the Championship after a wretched campaign, so are playing for pride today. TUS Gaelic Grounds hosts today's game which throws-in at 4pm. The game is not being televised or streamed live, so our blog below is the best place to keep up to date with all the action as it unfolds. LIMERICK: Shane Dowling (Na Piarsaigh); Barry Murphy (Doon), Dan Morrissey (Ahane), Mike Casey (Na Piarsaigh); Diarmaid Byrnes (Patrickswell), Declan Hannon (Adare), Colin Coughlan (Ballybrown); Darragh O'Donovan (Doon), William O'Donoghue (Na Piarsaigh); Gearoid Hegarty (St Patrick's), Cathal O'Neill (Crecora Manister), Tom Morrissey (Ahane); Seamus Flanagan (Feohanagh-Castlemahon), Shane O'Brien (Kilamllock), Peter Casey (Na Piarsaigh). SUBS: Jason Gillane (Patrickswell), Adam English (Doon), Vincent Harrington (Na Piarsaigh), Ethan Hurley (Newcastle West), Barry Nash (South Liberties), Aidan O'Connor (Ballybrown), Fergal O'Connor (Effin), Donnacha Ó Dálaigh (Monaleen), Patrick O'Donovan (Effin), David Reidy (Dromin Athlacca), Eddie Stokes (Doon). Clare: Eibhear Quilligan; Adam Hogan, Darragh Lohan, Rory Hayes; Cian Galvin, John Conlon, David McInerney; Sean Rynne, Cathal Malone; Tony Kelly, Mark Rodgers, Shane Meehan; Ryan Taylor, Peter Duggan, David Reidy. SUBS: Eamonn Foudy, Daithi Lohan, Ross Hayes, Diarmuid Ryan, Paddy Donnellan, Adam Shanagher, David Fitzgerald, Jack O'Neill, Ian Galvin, Colm O'Meara, Shane O'Donnell It's as hollow an exit for Clare as you could imagine as they go to the Gaelic Grounds with nothing to play for with another All-Ireland defence hitting the rocks at the earliest possible juncture. Limerick are all but in a Munster final so this is effectively a dead rubber and team selection may be compromised by more important tests ahead, but reasserting their authority over Clare in front of their own crowd should be sufficient motivation. Follow along for live updates here in our blog as the action unfolds.

Fast start and flowing Waters help Limerick past Wexford
All-Ireland MHC preliminary quarter-final: Limerick 1-20 Wexford 0-15 Shane Waters and Conor Hough fired Limerick to the All-Ireland minor hurling quarter-finals with victory over Wexford at Semple Stadium. The Treaty enjoyed a 0-10 to 0-2 head start, and though Wexford briefly made it a one-score game, those eight points would prove their eventual winning margin. Waters accounted for 0-14 (0-5 from play), while Hough's 51st-minute goal made victory certain as part of a 1-2 tally. The Model County were boosted before throw-in with the addition of Seán O'Brien to their starting team. Top scorer at this grade last year, the joint-captain missed their Leinster semi-final defeat to Galway due to a thumb injury, but played through the pain here. O'Brien won the opening free for Darragh Ryan, but Limerick's puck-out domination would see them string together 10 of the next 11 points. Shane Carroll and Alex Kearns got them up and running before Waters took over. The Na Piarsaigh sharp-shooter scored their next seven points, including four from play, in the space of eight minutes. Hough made it 0-10 to 0-2. Wexford switched Ryan deeper to shield their defence while O'Brien was brought out to the wing. The moves worked as Tomás Fenlon got their first point from play, quickly followed by Eoghan Whelan and O'Brien scores. Before long, a super second from wing-back Fenlon and Énán Quinlan's opener had it back to a one-score game. But Waters ended with a brace, one each from play and a free, for a 0-14 to 0-9 half-time lead. There were just four scores from play in a scrappy second half. Ryan and Waters exchanged two points each before the first clear-cut goal chance. Hough broke the sliotar for Cathal Dennehy, but Martin Dempsey read his intentions for a terrific diving save. Still, Waters' third 65 and Dennehy's opener made it a four-point streak and a lead of eight. The goal originated from captain David O'Keeffe winning the puck-out break. Rory Hanly sped forward to offload for Hough, whose initial shot was stopped by Brian Ivers' brave block. The Monagea attacker met the rebound with a sweet groundstroke to rattle the net. That 1-19 to 0-12 lead wouldn't be threatened as the Treaty held out against late Wexford pressure. Marcus Murphy earned his clean sheet by taking O'Brien's one-handed swipe off the line before saving Joey Tobin's kicked effort. For a finish, Jackie Dwane blocked O'Brien's close-range free on the line, and Tobin whipped wide. Scorers for Limerick: S Waters (0-14, 6 frees, 3 65s); C Hough (1-2); S Carroll, A Kearns, C Dennehy, K Begley (0-1 each). Scorers for Wexford: D Ryan (0-7, 5 frees, 1 65); S O'Brien (0-4, 3 frees); T Fenlon (0-2); É Quinlan, E Whelan (0-1 each).
