WATCH: Mungret St Paul's U20 Hurling manager Cian O'Brien: 'I think there was a small bit of pressure on us'

Mungret St Paul's defeated Monaleen in the LImerick U20 Premier Hurling semi-final on Tuesday evening

"I think there was a small bit of pressure on us, given that we've had so much success on the club. It's been unreal in all the codes like we've had success in camogie, ladies football and obviously the senior men winning the county for the first time. There's definitely a small bit of pressure of us but it's not a big deal we've had our sucesses in recent years. This would be a really nice one to top off the year," said Mungret St Paul's U20 Hurling manager Cian O'Brien. 

Mungret St Paul's booked their place in the Limerick Premier U20 Hurling Championship final with an impressive 1-25 to 0-15 victory over city rivals Monaleen at the TÚS Gaelic Grounds on Tuesday evening. Cian O’Brien’s side were dominant throughout, their sharpness in possession and ability to pick off scores proving decisive as they eased to a thirteen-point win.
