Tipperary’s minor footballers begin their Munster campaign at home to Limerick on March 30 as Phase 1 gets underway. That opening outing is followed by an away tie against Waterford on April 6 before the group stage concludes with a trip to face Clare on April 13.
With only three games to secure a top-two finish and a place in Phase 2, there is little margin for error. Should Tipperary progress, further round robin fixtures against Kerry and Cork await, with the provincial final pencilled in for May 18.
The minor hurlers also open their championship at home, welcoming Clare on April 3. An away assignment against Cork on April 17 follows, before the Phase 1 programme concludes with a trip to Waterford on May 8. As in football, the condensed format places a premium on early results, with the Munster final scheduled for May 15.
In the Dalata Hotel Group Munster U20 football championship, Tipperary face an away trip to Clare on March 14 before returning home to play Limerick on March 21.
Their Phase 1 campaign concludes away to Waterford on March 28. Depending on finishing position, Tipperary will either advance into Phase 2 or contest a B Final, with knockout action continuing into April.
The Fulfil Munster under 20 hurling championship sees Tipperary handed a demanding opening assignment at home to Cork on March 25. That is followed by an away fixture against Waterford on April 1.
The final two Phase 1 games bring a home tie against Clare on April 22 and an away clash with Limerick on April 29, with each result likely to prove decisive in the race for qualification.
