The battle for Liam McCarthy kicks up a notch this weekend when Tipperary take on Limerick in the opening game of the Munster championship.
Declan Ryan’s men are the clear favourites at 1/6 with the treaty at 9/2 and the draw available at 12/1 at
Paddy Power.
The Munster SFC also begins this weekend with the meeting of Tipperary and Kerry. Unsurprisingly the men from the Kingdom are strongly favoured to win this tie at a miniscule 1/50 with the handicap favouring the provincial champions by 11 points.
In Leinster Meath will look to put their recent troubles behind them when they face Wicklow. Despite some commentators tipping an upset in this fixture Wicklow remain the underdogs at 3/1 with Banty’s men at 1/3.
Meanwhile in Ulster, Antrim begin their championship with a trip to Clones to face Monaghan. The home side are 1/2 to win their opening fixture while the Glensmen are at 2/1.
