Two games down for decision this evening in Limerick SHC

ROUND 2 of the Bons Secours Hospital Limerick SHC gets underway this Thursday evening with two games down for decision. Patrickswell play Doon in Kilmallock, while Ahane play Kilmallock in Doon.

Patrickswell, Kilmallock and Ahane all tasted victory in their opening round fixtures and Doon will be looking to get on the board in their game with a 'Well side that saw off county champions Na Piarsiagh.

Aaron Gillane scored 1-6 in that victory for Eamonn Kelly's side and has brought his Limerick form straight into this year's club championship.

Doon, on the other hand, come into tonight's game on the back of a heavy defeat to Kilmallock in their first outing. Fergie O'Loughlin has been besieged by injury issues before the start of the season and it could be a long year ahead for the east Limerick outfit.

Doon pulled off a dramatic victory when the sides met in the group stage of the 2022 championship with a late, late Patrick Cummins goal sealing the win. 

In Thursday's other game, something has to give when Kilmallock and Ahane meet. Kilmallock signalled their intentions for 2023 with that dominant win in round one.

Oisin O'Reilly bagged 2-3 in that victory for the Balbec but they could face a much tougher task against an Ahane outfit that pulled off an impressive win over Kildimo-Pallaskenry.

Tom Morrissey fired over 12 points for Ahane in that game, while Daniel Minehan plundered 1-3 alongside him in the full forward line. 

Both games have a 7pm throw-in. The Kilmallock v Ahane game is being streamed live by Limerick GAA.
