2020 Munster and Leinster Hurling draws take place

The draws for the 2020 Munster and Leinster Senior Hurling Championships have taken place.

In Munster, champions Limerick will open their campaign with a home fixture against Cork.

The Treaty will have four games in five weeks and receive a bye in the concluding weekend of the round-robin system.

All-Ireland Champions Tipperary, who were provincial finalists last year, meanwhile will get their summer underway by entertaining Waterford.

This means Liam Cahill, who managed Tipp's U-21's to All-Ireland success in 2018 and the U-20s to glory in 2019, will face his native county in his first-ever match as a senior inter-county manager.

The draw has not been very favourable to Cork and Clare who will play three games in three successive weekends, between the 30th/31st May and 13th/14th June, as their bye's fall early in the competition.

 

In Leinster meanwhile, Dublin will open proceedings by welcoming Kilkenny to Parnell Park as they take on Brian Cody and the 2019 All-Ireland finalists.

Newly promoted Laois will look to replicate the magic of last summer as they host 2017 All-Ireland winners Galway; who are currently manager-less.

Reigning champions Wexford will begin the defence of their title in the second week of the competition, with a home fixture against Dublin.

Manager Davy Fitzgerald committed to staying on with the Yellow Bellies last month after guiding them to their first provincial title in 15 years this summer.
