THE semi final fixture line-up is now complete across the top four tiers of Limerick club football championship.
Champions Newcastle West will play Monaleen in the semi finals of the Irish Wire Products Limerick senior club football championship.
It’s a repeat of last season’s semi final in which the west Limerick side were one point winners.
Newcastle West are looking to reach a fourth Limerick SFC final in six years but have never won back-to-back titles.
Monaleen haven’t appeared in the final since their last title win in 2016 – losing semi finals to Newcastle West (2) and Adare.
The other semi final will pit last year's finalists Adare against Fr Caseys.
Adare will be playing in a sixth successive semi final, while for the Abbeyfeale side it’s a first time in the last four since 2014.
It’s 2009 since the side from the Kerry border last played in the final, while Adare are looking to reach a third successive decider.
While, Newcastle West and Adare both qualified automatically for the semi finals as group winners with 100% records, Fr Caseys and Monaleen were weekend quarter final winners.
In the Griffins Coaches Limerick intermediate club football championship is also down to the semi final stage.
Na Piarsaigh, who were relegated down from the senior ranks last year, will face fellow city side Mungret St Pauls. The other semi final pits Dromcollogher-Broadford against St Senans.
Three of the county IFC semi finalists are the three most recent senior sides – Na Piarsaigh (2021), Drom-Broadford (2020) and St Senans (2019).
Mungret were in the senior final 21 years ago but haven't been in an intermediate final since their drop down from the top tier.
In the Woodlands House Hotel Limerick Premier JAFC the semi final line-up is Castlemahon against Cappamore and Croom against Feenagh-Kilmeedy.
In the Woodlands House Hotel Limerick JAFC the semi final line-up is Mungret against Camogue Rovers and Granagh-Ballingarry against Hospital-Herbertstown.
