No breeze aiding either side in this one.

The Munster SHC is 131 years old this year and still is the most exciting provincial championship in either hurling or football.

Not often you have two teams lining out as named in the programme.

Limerick will start as named also.

No changes for Tipp this afternoon.

Anyway, that's from us for a while. We'll be back later with all the team news.

If not, then Tyrone may just shade as Monaghan's reliance on Conor McManus for scores could be their undoing.

Anyway, another tight game is expected and extra-time could be a real possibility, just too prolong my day if nothing else!!

Both sides have talented forwards and let's hope they are used (notice there's a lot of use of the word 'hope' in this mini-preview).

We all know that this is going to be a defensive game. However, it is hoped that we can at least see a decent brand of counter attacking.

There is only one football clash this afternoon, but what an intriguing game it is as two of the big guns in Ulster go head to head. They don't come much bigger that Tyrone v. Monaghan at Healy Park.

We also have a Christy Ring clash down for decision as London should see off Down in Ruislip.

The last of this weekend's Joe McDonagh Cup clashes takes place this afternoon and that sees Kerry take on unbeaten Westmeath in Tralee. Tough one to call too, but the Midlanders are brimming with confidence and a win here would see them go top of the table on their own.

Kilkenny are sure to make it two wins out of two. Offaly will battle hard and give it their all, but the Cats will pull away late on.

The Dubs put in a huge performance against Kilkenny last weekend, but just came up short and they were devastated after that defeat. Could this have a knock-on effect this weekend? Quite possibly. However, they do have a championship game under their belt and that will stand to them, close game expected, but the Dubs get the nod.

The second round of the Leinster SHC round robin series sees Wexford entertain Dublin at Innovate Wexford Park, while Kilkenny entertain Offaly.

Expect them to come out all guns blazing and if they can curb the influence of Clare's Tony Kelly, then they may have a few points to spare in this one.

One county that has been eerily quiet are Cork who since the conclusion of the NHL have been quietly working away and that is when they are their most dangerous.

The second of today's Munster games Cork entertain Clare at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

There's a genuine feeling that there could be an upset here, but personally we feel that Tipp will have the edge, especially given the strength of their bench with the likes of Seamus Callanan and Bonnar Maher chomping at the bit.

First up, we have the meeting of Limerick and Tipperary at the Gaelic Grounds.

There is something about this provincial campaign that really whets the appetite of all GAA supporters and even Colm O'Rourke might be bit excited by today's games.

Munster SHC is back

The saving grace of the GAA at the moment returns to our schedule as the Munster SHC begins this afternoon.
