Offaly 3-16 : Limerick 2-13
 

A season that started with
the Big Three of Cork, Kilkenny and Tipperary strongly
fancied to maintain their grip on the Liam MacCarthy
Cup has gone deliriously haywire. An emergent Limerick
team, with a first Munster title in 13 years, squares
up to Offaly, managed by Limerick legend Eamonn
Cregan, who have brought to a halt Kilkenny's
three-in-a-row ambitions and at last appear to be
delivering on the promise of some outstanding
under-age teams. The novelty of the pairing is a
prelude to one of the most memorable finals in
history.
