Monaleen set for Munster Junior B hurling action against Clare opposition

MONALEEN will play Wolfe Tones of Shannon in the Munster Junior B hurling championship semi-final following confirmation of the draw for this year's competition.

The city side face Clare opposition in Killeedy on Saturday, January 20 at 12pm. The other last four clash sees Drom & Inch (Tipperary) meet St Oliver Plunketts (Cork) on the same day.

Killeedy have hosted the the Munster and All-Ireland series since 2006 in all but one year. The 2021 competition was cancelled due to Covid.

Monaleen have returned to Junior A for the 2024 season following victory in the County Junior B final over fellow city outfit Ballybrown. They were relegated to Junior B in 2021.

A Limerick club are the current holders after Bruff won last year's Munster title after an epic battle with Tipperary's Thurles Sarsfields at Killeedy's ground in Raheenagh.

The south Limerick outfit then reached the All-Ireland final, also hosted by Killeedy, but fell to a heartbreaking defeat to Galway side Sarsfields on a 1-9 to 0-9 scoreline.
