Limerick SHC round four ends with two Friday fixtures

THE BON Secours Hospital Limerick SHC round four action comes to an end this Friday evening with two group two games down for decision. 

Top of the table Ballybrown take on Garryspillane in Fedamore, while second placed Mungret St Pauls face Monaleen in Claughaun. Both sides are on five points but Ballybrown are in first place due to a better scoring difference.

Ballybrown come into the fixture on the back of two wins and a draw from their three games so far in the championship. They take on a Garryspillane side that have just one point so far.

Limerick's Colin Coughlan was in inspired form for Ballybrown in their win over South Liberties last time out, while Barry Adams fired in a hat-trick of goals. A win for Harry Gleeson's side would put them in a very strong position coming into the final round game with Mungret.

Garryspillane have played well in fits of starts so far in 2023. Colin Ryan has impressed in a new position of full forward but they need to up their level drastically to move away from relegation worries.

Brian Begley's Mungret side face an improving Monaleen outfit in a fascinating fixture. Monaleen have two wins from their three games and have recovered well from a tough opening night loss to Ballybrown.

Mungret beat Adare last time out and will be aiming to head into the final round game having their destiny in their own hands. Both games have 6.30pm throw-ins this evening.
