Kildimo-Pallaskenry to renew rivalry with Cappawhite in All-Ireland Junior 'B' hurling series final

LIMERICK champions Kildimo-Pallaskenry will renew rivalry with Tipperary's Cappawhite in the All-Ireland Junior 'B' hurling series final following their respective All-Ireland semi-final wins in Raheenagh on Saturday.

Munster champions Kildimo-Pallaskenry defeated Kilrush Askamore, of Wexford, 0-17 to 1-11, to book their All-Ireland final place.

A whirlwind start to the game which yielded eight points without reply from Aaron O'Donovan helped propel the Limerick side into the final. 

The winners, backed up a strong wind, led their opponents 0-11 to 0-2 at half-time.

Kildimo-Pallaskenry were still seven points to the good, 0-14 to 0-7, mid-way through the second half. 

The Wexford side did strike for the game's only goal in the 56th minute to leave three points between the teams, 0-15 to 1-9. However, a resolute Kildimo-Pallaskenry side succeeded in closing out the victory.

Kildimo-Pallaskenry's opponents in the final will be Cappawhite who ran out 2-11 to 0-15 victors over Three Castles, of Kilkenny, in their semi-final also played at Raheenagh on Saturday.

Kildimo-Pallaskenry recorded a dramatic 3-8 to 1-13 victory over Cappawhite in the Munster final of the series played at Raheenagh earlier this month.

Killeedy GAA club are hosts of the Leinster, Munster and All-Ireland Junior 'B' Hurling Championships. Kildimo-Pallaskenry are aiming to follow in footsteps of Monaleen who lifted the All-Ireland Junior 'B' title last year.
