Munster Council to hear appeal on controversial Limerick camogie clash

THERE has been another twist in the saga of the intermediate camogie semi-final Blackrock-Effin and Templeglantine.

Initially ordered to be replayed after '45s was used as a tie-breaker when the sides were level after extra-time when the rules state it should have gone to penalties, the west Limerick side have appealed the county board's ruling to the Munster Council.

Scheduled to take place this weekend, fixture details are still up in the air at the time of going to print with this appeal lingering in the background. The intermediate final was originally scheduled to take place this weekend with the saga delaying the whole competition.

There are fears that the delay could affect the Limerick champions’ participation in the Munster club championship. The winners of the local second tier competition play in the junior championship at provincial level.

Na Piarsaigh have already booked their spot in the final after a convincing win over Mungret St Paul’s in the other semi-final.

On the field, the senior final does goes ahead as scheduled on Saturday.

Four-in-a-row chasing Newcastle West have a fourth different final opponent in as many years when they take on Bruff in Ballyagran.

For the south Limerick club, it is their first ever decider. Throw-in is 3.30pm.

The curtain-raiser is the Senior Plate final.

Killeedy, who got to the county final in 2021, '22 and '23 take on a Patrickswell side who were intermediate champions last year. That game gets underway at 12.45pm.

At the same time in Banogue, Ahane take on Croagh-Kilfinny in the relegation playoff.
