Tipperary drawn against Munster opposition in Tailteann Cup preliminary quarter-finals
Tipperary head for Limerick in hope of last eight Tailteann Cup place
Following last Saturday’s win over Wexford in their final round robin group game, Tipperary have been drawn away to Munster neighbours Limerick, in the preliminary quarter-finals, to be played this coming weekend.
Limerick secured their place in the last 12 with a victory over London on Saturday last.
Time and Limerick venue to be confirmed later today.
The sides last met in a McGrath Cup game played in Templetuohy in January with Tipperary emerging victorious to claim their first-ever win under manager Paul Kelly. However, following poor Allianz League campaigns for both, Limerick were relegated to Division 4 without winning a point, while Tipperary remained in the bottom rung with just one win recorded.
The winners will advance to a quarter-final and an away fixture against one of the four group winners: Kildare, Sligo, Fermanagh or Down.
