Two weeks after lifting the Sean Óg Murphy Cup, Glen Rovers are back in action against the Clare champions.
The Glen beat St Finbarr’s 2-20 to 0-23 in the county final on 18 October, a 28th Cork senior title and their first in ten years.
It is the club’s first Munster campaign as Cork champions since 2016, when they reached the provincial final and lost to Ballyea. They were last in Munster in 2019, losing a semi-final to Borris-Ileigh. Inagh-Kilnamona are making their Munster club debut after winning the Clare title.
The winners meet Thurles Sarsfields in the Munster semi-final on Sunday 15 November.
St Mary’s v Ballincollig

Ballincollig take their historic season on the road to Tipperary.
James Dwyer’s side won the club’s first Premier Intermediate title on 18 October, beating Dungourney 1-19 to 0-16 under manager Éamonn Keating. The win also lifts Ballincollig into Senior A hurling for 2027.
St Mary’s beat Killenaule in the Tipperary final and are coached by Kilbrittain’s Jamie Wall, so there is a Cork connection in the opposing dugout.
The winners play Clashmore Kinsalebeg (Waterford) or Abbeydorney (Kerry) in the Munster semi-final on Sunday 15 November.
