Five time Waterford All Star John Mullane is predicting two closely fought Provincial hurling Finals on Sunday.

Limerick and Tipperary locks horns in what’s expected to be a sell-out at the Gaelic Games in the Munster decider, while Wexford will be hoping to end a long wait for silverware when they tackle Kilkenny in the Leinster Final at Croke Park.

Speaking to WLR Sport, John says Limerick will be a different animal from when they played Tipp in the round-robin game.

John admits that Patrick ‘Bonner’ Maher is a massive loss to the Tipperary attack.

John says Kilkenny will still have a big say in this year’s Championship, “You can never write a Brian Cody team off, I think they’re getting a couple of injuries back as well, and look any team that faces Kilkenny in a Quarter-Final from here on it is going to find it hard to beat them”.
