For the fourth time this year, Cork and Limerick go head-to-head.<\/p>\n
The score is currently 2-1 in Limerick\u2019s favour as they have emerged triumphant from the two league clashes, including the league final.<\/p>\n
Both of those wins came at the Gaelic Grounds though and when it was Leeside\u2019s turn to host their Munster match, it was the Rebels who came out on top.<\/p>\n
There is still the enormous possibility that these two arch-rivals will meet for a fifth time in the All-Ireland hurling final but for now the two squads are focused on securing Munster glory.<\/p>\n
Cork will be looking to retain the provincial crown they took from Limerick last year in that memorable final that was decided by penalties.<\/p>\n
That ended the Treaty county\u2019s seven-in-a-row bid and should they get revenge this weekend, it will be a seventh title in eight years.<\/p>\n
It promises to be another exciting day of action in the Munster senior hurling championship.<\/p>\n
Here is everything you need to know ahead of throw-in to Cork v Limerick.<\/p>\n
SuperValu P\u00e1irc U\u00ed Chaoimh on the banks of the Lee is the venue for the game.<\/p>\n

Cork v Limerick will be broadcast live on RT\u00c92 from 1.15pm but you can also follow the best of the action on the Irish Examiner\u2019s new and improved liveblog.<\/p>\n

On Saturday RT\u00c92 will have coverage of the Leinster hurling final between Dublin and Galway. Throw-in there is at 6pm.<\/p>\n
