Teams

Overview

A major restructuring of the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship at the end of 2013 resulted in the number of participating teams for 2014 being reduced from sixteen to twelve. Because of this Garryspillane, Bruree, Hospital-Herbertstown and Croom regraded to the newly created Limerick Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship for 2014.[4]
