Munster championship round robin fixtures confirmed

The dates and times for the Munster Hurling Championship round robin have been confirmed.

All Ireland Champions Limerick must wait until the second week of the Championship to enter the fray, when they welcome Cork to the Gaelic Grounds.

Walsh Park hosts the opening round meeting of Waterford and Clare.

While defending provincial kingpins Cork face Tipperary at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

This year’s round robin will be played over six weeks instead of last year’s five, avoiding any one side playing four weeks in a row.
