Lismore and Tallow square up for semi spot

A BATTLE ROYAL is in prospect at Cappoquin this evening (6.15pm) when neighbours and arch-rivals Lismore and Tallow meet in the quarter- final of the Waterford SHC.

The prize for the winners is a meeting with Ballygunner in the semi-final in two weeks, but before that there’s the small matter of sorting out this latest chapter in an exciting history between the rivals that is almost as old as the GAA itself.

Both sides have struggled on their way to this stage of the title race, with Lismore suffering a shock first round defeat to Ardmore before regaining some ground via the losers group.
