Stack hails Piarsaigh progress

LIMERICK’S Na Piarsaigh GAA club is bucking a national trend.

At a time when gaelic games are struggling in urban areas, this pocket of the Treaty City is developing hurling and gaelic football in an area where rugby traditionally held sway.

On Sunday, having finally made the senior breakthrough after years of across-the-board underage success, they contest the Munster Club SHC final in Semple Stadium against Clare champions Crusheen.
