Ahane and Emmets fail to hit final point

EMMETS and Ahane will meet on Sunday in the Gaelic Grounds at 7.45pm after their Limerick SHC semi-final ended level yesterday, with neither side grabbing the initiative in a scoreless final 10 minutes.

The game began in driving rain, with Ahane also enjoying a stiff breeze, but divisional side Emmets had the better of the first half. John Meskell had nudged Ahane ahead with a superb sideline cut when Emmets struck for their first goal on eight minutes.

A Paul Neenan free dropped short and Emmets corner-forward Eoin Walsh pounced on the loose ball near the square and pulled first-time to find the net.
