LIMERICK have been drawn against Wicklow in next weekend’s semi-final of the Tailteann Cup.
In the other semi, Fermanagh will meet outright favourites Kildare.
In Sunday’s quarter-final, a pair of goals each from class performers Cillian Fahy and Danny Neville propelled Limerick to a cracking 4-21 to 2-19 victory over Wexford at the Gaelic Grounds.
There was also a customary haul of points from James Naughton (0-9).
In a hectic contest, the teams had retired level at the break, 3-8 to 1-14.
Wexford raced into an early five-point to nil lead, but Limerick then settled with some neat points and lovely goals from captain Fahy and Nash.
The visitors were at a numerical disadvantage for some of the closing half after a black card was issued.
Limerick had the upper hand and are now in the last four of a competition in which the winners will earn automatic entry into the group stages of the 2026 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
Tony McCarthy is an injury concern after his early enforced withdrawal in this latest memorable Limerick victory.
Limerick’s progression has pushed back the start of the club championships by a week, and much more if our great adventure continues on until the final on July 12.
