LIMERICK'S Junior Ladies team march on to the All-Ireland final in the Croke Park after a one point win over Fermanagh in the semi-final.

Supersub Caoimhe McGrath's six points powered her side into a winning advantage after her second half introduction to convert control of the play into scores on the board.

However, it was a different story entirely before the break as it took 26 minutes to generate the game's first score.

The winners looked to have shot themselves in the foot in the monsoon conditions by converting just one of their 11 scoring opportunities during that half while Fermanagh raised three flags out of four chances, grabbing the game's only goal for a decisive half-time lead, 1-2 to 0-1.

Two quick frees finally got Limerick moving. The Shannonsiders were able to use their upper hand in midfield and their patience at the back to launch a series of attacks on the break that ripped open the opposing defence.

Even when Fermanagh threw everything at the Limerick team they held on to their slim lead to come out victorious. 

The Treaty ladies now face Down in the All-Ireland Junior Final on August, 13 at 11:45am live on TG4.
