FR CASEY'S and Na Piarsaigh meet in the first of the quarters today in Askeaton at 4pm. The Abbeyfeale men reached this stage after finishing second in their group and have won all their games outside of the opening round fixture against Newcastle West.

Former Limerick interim manager and recently appointed Clare manager Mark Fitzgerald is on the sideline for Casey's. They have improved throughout the competition and have a stronger squad available since the beginning of the championship.

They meet a Na Piarsaigh side that have done well to reach the knockout stages having come up from intermediate in 2022.

The Caherdavin men are in bonus territory but will be hoping they can pull off a surprise against the heavily favoured Abbeyfeale.

Casey's have beaten Claughaun, Oola, St Kieran's and Kildimo-Pallaskenry en-route to the quarter-finals. Na Piarsaigh have beaten Ballysteen, Galtee Gaels and Ballylanders but were beaten by Monaleen and Adare on their way to this stage.
