Dripsey leapt around like spring lambs at the final whistle as if they’d won the championship, and heaven knows what the celebrations would be like if they actually did, but at least they’ll have the chance to do it next year after retaining their intermediate ‘A’ hurling status on Saturday night.

Two goals in the space of three second half minutes gained Éire Óg a hard-won victory over a dogged Blackrock side in the third round of the Cork IHC at Ballincollig on Saturday.

SENIOR players Seanie Buckley, Pat Ahern and Johnny McCarthy are included in the Limerick team to play Waterford in the Munster U21 FC semi-final at the Gaelic Grounds on Saturday.

There are four games down for decision in Division 1B of the National Football League and Laois travel to Sligo looking for a more convincing win than last week's against Limerick.

Limerick boss Liam Kearns has made just one change from the side that lost narrowly to Laois last weekend for Sunday's date with Down at the Gaelic Grounds.
