WATCH: Ballybrown senior hurling manager Kevin Lally: 'We used this as a preliminary quarter-final'
Ballybrown defeated Kilmallock in round five of the Limerick SHC
"WE USED this as a preliminary quarter-final, that was probably our thought process. I know there was talk that you could have been through anyway but no we came and we wanted to do our business today. Thankfully we played well today and put two points on the board and thankfully booked our place in a county quarter-final," said Ballybrown senior hurling manager Kevin Lally.
Ballybrown issued a statement of intent by defeating Kilmallock 4-20 to 1-19 in round five of the Whitebox Limerick Senior Hurling Championship in Newcastle West on Saturday evening.
The city outfit were full value for their victory and they never looked like losing this contest at any stage. Ballybrown’s goal-hungry nature was evident as they constantly pressed forward in search of green flags. Their ability to carve out chances and ruthlessly finish them off ultimately set them apart on the evening. Kilmallock struggled to their opponents intensity on Saturday evening.
After Ahane's defeat to Doon, Ballybrown and Kilmallock will join Adare and Monaleen in the Limerick SHC quarter-finals. The draw for the quarter-finals take place on Monday evening. Na Piarsaigh and Doon advance directly into the semi-finals.
Ross Kenny and Aidan O’Connor racked up 1-11 between them and both players were central to everything that was good about Ballybrown’s performance on Saturday night.
