The county senior hurling championship begins on Friday, June 19 with defending champions Abbeydorney playing Tralee Parnells, starting their bid for a third consecutive title. The same weekend includes Lixnaw versus St Brendan’s in Group 1 and Causeway versus Kilmoyley in Group 2, staged as a double-header at Austin Stack Park, with the exact day and time depending on Kerry senior footballers’ All-Ireland involvement. If Kerry play in Sam Maguire Cup round 3 on June 20/21 and take the Saturday fixture, the hurling games move to Sunday; if Kerry play on Sunday, the hurling games move to Saturday. The same scheduling rule applies to round 2 games on June 26-28, based on Kerry’s All-Ireland quarter-final dates.
