Big guns still standing

Familiar faces fill the line-up for the semi-finals of the Limerick SHC, which will be contested by four of the last five teams to claim the title.

In Bruff on Saturday, 2010 champions Kilmallock lived up to their joint-favourites tag with an emphatic 1-19 to 0-9 win over Croom, who managed just three scores from play over the hour.

County corner-forward Graeme Mulcahy provided the turning point with the game’s only goal on the three-quarter mark as the Maiguesiders, who had held the margin to four points up to that stage, began to feel the effects of losing Conor Laffan to a red card just minutes before.
