Last weekend saw the final round of group action in the Limerick SHC.
Ballybrown issued a statement defeating Kilmallock 4-20 to 1-19 in Newcastle West. Ross Kenny, Mikey Kiely, Leigh Doolan and Barry Adams all hit the net for Ballybrown in their ten-point victory. Kilmallock's Micheal Houlihan was forced off early on with an injury. Meanwhile, former Limerick hurler Graeme Mulcahy wasn't fit enough to line out for the South Limerick club.
Monaleen, who had already secured promotion to group one for the 2026 season, had to settle for a draw against Kildimo-Pallaskenry.
Adare produced a late comeback against Newcastle West, with a penalty from John Fitzgibbon deep in injury time seeing Mark Foley's side edge past their opponents 2-17 to 1-18. Former Limerick captain Declan Hannon limped off with an ankle injury in the second half.
Patrickswell have suffered relegation into group two for the 2026 season and Dromin-Athlacca will play in the premier intermediate grade next year.
