Route to the final Limerick Entering the Munster Championship at the semi-final stage by virtue of a bye, Limerick's first game was at home against Tipperary on 9 June 2013. Limerick were very much the underdogs going into the game as, it was believed, the burden of playing in Division 1B of the National Hurling League would ultimately prove their undoing, while Tipperary would exploit time and space to exert unbearable pressure and ultimately restate their credentials as Kilkenny's most likely challengers for the All-Ireland. All did not go to plan for the Premier County, who were 0-03 to 0-01 behind early on and were five down when Seán Tobin scored the opening goal for Limerick after Brendan Cummins had scooped the ball clear in a goalmouth scramble. Limerick led by 1-07 to 0-07 at half-time. John O'Dwyer came off the bench to make his championship debut and scored 1-03 in the second half for Tipp. He fired home a brilliant 49th-minute goal and Tipp led by 1-13 to 1-09. Limerick fought back to draw level at 1-14 apiece and set up a grandstand finish. They edged two points clear with points from subs Shane Dowling and Niall Moran, before Eoin Kelly dragged Tipp back into contention with five minutes left. But Limerick were flying and they bagged the final two scores through captain Donal O'Grady and Declan Hannon to secure a 1-18 to 1-15 victory, their first over Tipperary since 2007.http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/limerick-blaze-a-hot-trail-into-munster-final-1.1422216 Limerick blaze a hot trail into Munster final 9 June 2013 Irish Times 12 July 2013 Seán Moranhttp://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/hurling/limerick-learn-winning-formula-233772.html Limerick learn winning formula 10 June 2013 Irish Examiner 12 July 2013 Diarmuid O'Flynnhttp://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/super-subs-lead-late-charge-as-treaty-muzzle-tipps-top-dogs-29332388.html Super subs lead late charge as Treaty muzzle Tipp's top dogs 10 June 2013 Irish Examiner 12 July 2013 Martin Breheny Cork Also entering the Munster Championship at the semi-final stage by virtue of a bye, Cork's first game was at the Gaelic Grounds against Clare, quarter-final winners over Waterford, on 23 June 2013. Clare were slight favourites as they had won a Waterford Crystal Cup clash early in the year – before winning the two National League fixtures between the teams, including a relegation play-off. Cork started without injured duo Paudie O'Sullivan and Lorcán McLoughlin, while team captain Pa Cronin also started on the bench. Clare played with a strong wind in the opening period and led by 0-11 to 0-08 at half-time. Cork scored the final point of the first half via goalkeeper Anthony Nash's long-range free, before they opened the second half in devastating fashion. Eight points on the bounce ensured that Cork's three-point deficit had become a five-point lead. Cork won the second half by 0-15 to 0-04 to score their first victory over Clare in 2013 – at the fourth attempt.http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/clare-blown-away-in-the-second-half-1.1439989 Clare blown away in the second half 23 June 2013 Irish Times 12 July 2013http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/corks-young-guns-silence-critics-as-clare-feel-backlash-29367040.html Cork's young guns silence critics as Clare feel backlash 24 June 2013 Irish Independent 12 July 2013 Vincent Hoganhttp://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/hurling/clinical-cork-get-wind-in-their-sails-234991.html Clinical Cork get wind in their sails 24 June 2013 Irish Examiner 12 July 2013 Diarmuid O'Flynn Pre-match Cork were appearing in the Munster final for the 80th time since the championship was founded in 1888.
