Newcastle West are safely through

NEWCASTLE WEST are the first side to book a spot in the semi-finals of the Limerick SFC.

The Magpies had to kick a free in the fourth minute of injury-time to snatch a draw against Ballylanders in Feenagh to maintain their unbeaten record. But the draw, coupled with their three previous round wins, is enough to see them into the last four with a round to spare.

Aside from the opening minute when Limerick senior James Kelly opened the scoring, Newcastle West were never in front in this thrilling 0-15 apiece draw.
