It's a repeat of the 2019 minor final, which the Abbeyfeale side won in Kilmallock.

Both sides have played four games to reach the final - Fr Caseys beat Monaleen, Na Piarsaigh and Mungret and drew with St Kierans, while Galbally defeated Mungret, Newcastle West, Cappagh-Rathkeale and St Kierans.

Both sides had players on the 2021 and 2020 Limeick U20 football panels - Eliah Riordan; Sean Kilbridge, Dylan Quirke, DJ Stack and Rory O’Brien (all Fr Caseys), and Ciaran Sheehan, Peter Morrissey, Eoin O’Mahony and James Cummins (all Galbally).

The west Limerick side are chasing a first U21 success since 2011 when they completed a hat-trick of titles and their eighth ever crown in the U21 top grade.

Fr Caseys arrive into this U21 final off the back of a run of county minor titles.

Their south Limerick opponents last returned an U21 title when they beat Kildimo-Pallaskenry in the 2018 A final. They were also A grade winners in 2015, while they lost at that level in the finals of 2016 and 2013.
