Dromin-Athlacca face stern test in Munster semi-final clash

AS WELL as Kilmallock, another south Limerick side are bidding to reach a Munster final this Sunday afternoon.

Dromin-Athlacca make the short trip to Kilmallock where they take on Clarecastle in the AIB Munster club IHC semi-final.

The Magpies were massive 4-27 to 2-12 winners over Corofin in the Clare Premier Intermediate final last month.

Cian Galvin, Bobby Duggan and Clare U20 star Harry Doherty are poised to lead the Clarecastle challenge.

Duggan recently returned from Canada - the county final win was his first appearance for the club in four years.

Dromin-Athlacca come into the game on a high after making an immediate return to senior hurling following their 2025 relegation.

Ironically it was the Corofin side who Clarecastle swept away in the Banner decider who the south Limerick side last played in the provincial championship - the Clare men winning by four points that day in 2023.

After time to take stock and regroup after defeating Bruff in the Lyons of Limerick Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship final, it is hoped that Dromin-Athlacca can come into the game fresh.

However, up against them are a strong opponent who were ruthless in their county final success.

St Marys (Tipperary) and Abbeydorney (Kerry) meet in the other semi-final at the same time in Tralee.
