County finals time in Limerick Ladies Football Championships

THE 3Dental Limerick ladies football championship will reach it's pinnacle on Sunday, October 6 with the Senior and Intermediate County Finals taking place as a double header fixture in Cappamore.

Final places were booked over the weekend with the semi-finals producing some fantastic games of football. In the 3Dental Limerick senior ladies championship final, Ballylanders will take on St Ailbe's on October 6 at 3.30pm. Ballyanders' were the more dominant team in their semi-final against Old Mill, winning out on a scoreline of 2-7 to 1-5.

In the second semi-final St Ailbe's came out on top against rivals Monagea, who were targetting their fourth county final appearance in-a-row this season, but St Ailbe's had other ideas. Ailbe's ran out two-point victors, 1-12 to 2-7, in a highly competitive game.

After losing their senior A quarter-finals, four teams from that grade moved into the senior B competition with that final also fixed for October 6 at 11am in Croom between Dromcollogher-Broadford and Oola.

This means that Galtee Gaels, who were only promoted to the senior ranks this season, and Feohanagh-Castlemahon will contest the relegation final which is set to take place at 11am in Fedamore that same Sunday.

Meanwhile, in the 3Dental Intermediate Championship, Knockainey will face Mungret St Paul's in this year's county final also on October 6 at 1pm.
