The game was a repeat of the 2018 final where Limerick narrowly edged Galway 3-16 to 2-18. Micheal Donoghue’s charges arrive into the All-Ireland final on the back of winning the Leinster Championship with a 4-29 to 4-16 win over Dublin. The men in maroon and white followed that up with an impressive victory over Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final.
Limerick just did enough to get past Cork in the Munster final and the Shannonsiders needed a late goal from Aidan O’Connor to get past Clare in the All-Ireland semi-final.
