Two Adam English frees and an effort from Pat Ryan was enough for Doon to rescue a point in round one. Doon lined out with fourteen of their winning county final starting XV with the only change coming i n goals, with Darragh Stapleton making the switch to the number one jersey.
The sides met last year in the Limerick SHC semi-finals when Doon got the better of Patrickswell.
Verdict: Doon
