Na Piarsaigh survive as Doon suffer sudden death penalty heartbreak

Shane O’Neill takes Na Piarsaigh to their 11th final, and a third under his guidance, having won a pair of titles in this first term in charge.

AGONY: Doon's Darragh O'Donovan reacts after missing in the penalty shoot-out at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. 

Limerick SHC semi-final: Na Piarsaigh 2-23 Doon 0-29 (aet, Na Piarsaigh win 4-3 on pens).

Kevin Downes’ sudden death penalty was the difference as Na Piarsaigh eventually saw off underdogs Doon to book an 11th Limerick SHC final appearance. Downes, as well as another former Limerick man, Shane Dowling, were the heroes in the first ever shoot-out at this level on Shannonside.
