Third round of Limerick SHC gets underway this evening

ROUND THREE of the Bon Secours Hospital Limerick Senior Hurling Championship gets underway on this Thursday evening with six games down for decision.

The weekend action begins when Patrickswell play Ahane in Kilmallock. ‘Both sides will be looking to get back to winning ways after round 2 losses.

‘The Well’ suffered a somewhat surprising two-point defeat to Doon last time out and manager Eamonn Kelly will be expecting a response.

Kelly led Patrickswell to an opening day win over holders Na Piarsaigh and will be favourites to come out on top against an improving Ahane outfit.

The Castleconnell man pushed Kilmallock hard in their last outing and will be confident that they can cause their opponents plenty of issues on Thursday in Kilmallock.

Elsewhere, this evening Mungret St Paul's taking on Adare in their group two clash in Askeaton. Both teams drew their last games and it’s hard to see much separating them in this fixture.

Mungret top the group on scoring difference, while Ballybrown and Adare are also on the same amount of points heading into the third round of action.
