Peter Casey admits that home advantage should be a help to Limerick in tomorrow night's Munster U21 HC final.

It will be the Treaty County's third successive outing in the Gaelic Grounds, as they were also at home for their victories over Tipperary and Clare.

"Playing at home is a help, I'm sure Cork would love if they were at home too, but Cork hurling is really on the up," Casey told The Irish Independent. "There'll be a huge Cork crowd there I'm sure, especially when they are going for the Munster treble.

"We knew that we had a strong team this year and that we'd be able to give it a right crack. The management have been very good in ensuring that it genuinely has been one game at a time, Tipperary, Clare and now Cork.

"They're going for the treble this year in Munster so it's going to be a massive test, but one we're all really looking forward to.

"It's knockout and that's what makes it so entertaining for the people watching. For us playing, there are no sweepers and management probably don't have too much time with the players, so there's no real chance to implement systems, you just go out and express yourself. I'm sure the two teams will be going at it hammer and tongs."
