WATCH: Na Piarsaigh senior hurling coach Thomas Downes reflects on Limerick championship victory over Kilmallock

Na Piarsaigh defeated Kilmallock 2-23 to 1-14 in round four of the Limerick SHC on Saturday evening

NA PIARSAIGH produced an impressive performance to defeat Kilmallock 2-23 to 1-14 in round four of the Whitebox Limerick senior hurling championship on Saturday evening in Mick Neville Park. 

This victory now means that Na Piarsaigh have booked their place in the Limerick SHC semi-finals. After a cagey opening affair, Na Piarsaigh took control of this encounter during the second half outscoring the opponents 1-14 to 1-2. Na Piarsaigh’s sharp finishing, clever use of possession, and effective use of the breeze in the second half proved decisive.

On his first start in this year's SHC, Mike Casey anchored the Na Piarsaigh defence, William O’Donoghue dominated the middle third, while Peter Casey, Dáithí Dempsey, Kevin Downes and Dylan Lynch combined brilliantly in attack to contribute 2-13 between them.
