All-Ireland champions Limerick come into their semi-final clash with Galway as the odds-on favourites to lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup once again this year.

But the Treatymen have not played in four weeks since their Munster final win over Clare, not that they think that will be factor against Henry Shefflin's side.

Galway were defeated by Kilkenny in the Leinster final which lead to another frosty handshake between Shefflin and his former manager Brian Cody.

The Tribesmen are the outsiders of the four teams left in the Championship with the bookies, but having won ten All-Irelands as a player, Shefflin won't be paying much attention to that.

The winners of this clash will meet either Kilkenny or Clare in the final.

Limerick's Gearóid Hegarty: “Time will tell in a couple of weeks as to whether we've learned our lesson from 2019 but we'll be fine, there'll be no fear of us.

“I'm sure the lads would have learned a lot from 2019 in terms of how to prepare us best. To be honest, I believe there is a little bit too much made of this four-week break.

“We went back training the Wednesday night after the Munster final so you have a three and a half week lead-in to the next game. That's not that long in my opinion.

“It's not just that we can train hard over the couple of weeks, it's that you can switch off from hurling completely, you don't have another game to deal with and you don't have another game to recover from and get up for another game after that as well.

“So there's a lot there, I think there's so many positives that go with that four-week break.”
