Bruff win tense battle to secure final spot

Bruff (Limerick) 2-13 Lixnaw (Kerry) 2-10

Lixnaw, despite playing with the wind in the first half, were slow from traps, and Bruff, thanks to a speculative shot from Chris Browne deceiving teenage keeper David Silles, led 1-4 to 0-3 after the opening quarter.

The Kerry champions got going in the second quarter, thanks to the efforts of John Griffin and Brendan Brosnan at midfield against Limerick senior Paul Browne.
