LIMERICK SFC - Fr Casey’s book semi-final place
Fr Casey's Derry O'Connor takes on the St Kieran's defence in the Limerick SFC at the weekend
FR Casey’s maintained their perfect record in Group 2 of the Limerick SFC with a 2-11 to 2-8 win over St Kieran’s at Newcastle West helping them secure a semi-final spot.
The first of two goals from full forward Jim Donovan helped Kieran’s into a 1-4 to 0-5 interval lead after an entertaining period. When Donovan cracked home his second goal four minutes into the second half, the Saints were four points to the good.
However, a resolute Fr Casey’s side came storming back through the third quarter. Top scorer Padraig McEnery in the 40th minute brought his side level and a second goal for the Abbeyfeale side from Robert Browne in the 52nd minute guided them to victory.
With three wins to their credit, St Kieran’s will still fancy their chances of making the knock-out stages.
