Three in-a-row hopes still alive for Kilmurry-Ibrickane

Kilmurry, on a quest for a three-in-a-row, defeated O’Curry’s at Doonbeg on Saturday, 0-8 to 0-6. The champions trailed by 0-5 to 0-4 at the break but points by Mark McCarthy (three) and Seamus Murrihy in the second period saw them through despite never achieving the lofty heights that earned them two titles in as many years.

Also at Doonbeg, Kilrush Shamrocks overcame neighbours and rivals St Senan’s Kilkee, finishing 2-11 to 0-7 in front. Early goals by Chris Dixon and Rory O’Connor helped the Shams to a 2-4 to 0-2 half-time lead.
