In Limerick, the sermons have changed but the hunger for silverware remains undimmed. Two days out from another Munster decider and John Kiely's side are targeting an extraordinary seven in-a-row.

The vengeful demolition of Cork in their penultimate round robin game underlined that they had put the disappointment at missing out on a fifth Liam MacCarthy in a row to bed. While missing out on history stung at the time, there is an upside in that the chit-chat around the city has at least seen some variation. *Read the full John Kiely interview: https://www.rte.ie/sport/hurling/2025/0530/1515970-kiely-all-i-expected-in-17-was-a-goodbye-phone-call/*
