Champions Ballylanders repeated their 2015 Limerick SFC final victory over St Patrick’s to accelerate their title defence. They recorded a 0-13 to 0-10 win last night.

Clare 2-11 Limerick 0-5: Clare qualified for a semi-final spot in the Munster MFC against Tipperary on May 13 after ousting Limerick at Cusack Park, Ennis last evening.

Last night’s rip-roaring Munster minor football phase-one qualifier in Newcastlewest ended with Seán Murphy’s goal three minutes from time giving Limerick their first championship win in the grade since 2010.
