John McGrath says Loughmore-Castleiney are hoping momentum will stand to them as it did last year when they reached both senior finals.

McGrath hit Kilruane MacDonaghs for 4-6 in Saturday’s quarter-final, 4-5 of it coming in the first half of their 4-15 to 0-21 victory. The club are also alive in the football championship and the hurt of losing those deciders last year is partly inspiring them.
