The 2010 Munster senior Hurling championship quarter final takes place on Sunday May 30th in Páirc Ui Caoimh. The tie sees traditional rivals Cork & Tipp face eachother for the third time in 3 years.

Denis Walsh named new Cork Hurling manager
Former dual star Denis Walsh has been named manager of Cork‘s senior hurling team.
44 year old Walsh, a member of the St Catherine’s club from Castlelyons in East Cork, holds two Hurling and two Football All-Ireland medals.
He was a double Munster winner in 1990, winning both Hurling and Football medals in the province but saw his name omitted from the Hurling team later in the year to miss out on the previously un-achieved dream of winning two All-Ireland’s medals in the same year.
Walsh managed the Waterford footballers from 2001 to 2003 and has coached successfully with his St. Catherines.
The decision to name Walsh was made by the committee chosen to make the appointment by GAA Central Council. It comprised Denis Coughlan (chairman), Jimmy Barry Murphy and John Fenton.
Walsh will be officially appointed in Cork on Monday 30 March.
