Limerick v Cork LIVE score updates from the Munster hurling final
Limerick will look to make it seven Munster titles in a row when they take on Cork in this evening's much-anticipated provincial final.
The Treaty County have been part of some thrilling Munster finals in recent years, beating Clare in the last two deciders.
But in that period, this is the first time they have taken on Cork in the final, and it promises to be a fascinating contest.
These sides met in May when Limerick put on a 16-point hammering on the Rebels in a real statement of intent.
Cork, to their credit, recovered well when beating Waterford last time out to book their place in the provincial decider.
Now the sides meet again at the TUS Gaelic Grounds. The match is scheduled for a 6pm throw-in and you can follow all the action right here on Irish Mirror Sport. RTE Two will have live coverage of the game and it can be streamed on the RTE Player.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 2025 Munster Senior Hurling final as Cork meet Limerick in a mouthwatering final.
There has been plenty of hype surrounding Cork coming into 2025 following their journey to the 2024 All-Ireland final.
The Rebels backed that up with a stunning league campaign, where they were crowned champions after an emphatic win over Tipperary.
But momentum came to a sudden halt after a 3-26 to 1-16 beating at the hands of Limerick last month in a performance that has been regarded as one of their best since John Kiely's highly successful tenure.
Today's game throws in at 6 pm with RTE Two showing the game live, and it is available to stream on the RTE Player.
We will have all the live updates here on the Irish Mirror.
