Battling Kilmallock march on

KILMALLOCK held off a late Garryspillane fightback to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Limerick senior hurling championship.

Five minutes into the second-half in Bruff on Saturday evening, goals from Paudie O’Dwyer, Eoin Ryan and Bryan O’Sullivan had Kilmallock 3-10 to 0-8 ahead.

Led by an 11-point return (9 frees) from TJ Ryan, the Bouncers fought back but couldn’t find the necessary goal and fell two points short — 3-13 to 0-20.
