Na Piarsaigh defeated Doon by seven points after extra-time to claim the Limerick senior hurling crown. They had lost to Doon in last year's final.

Na Piarsaigh manager Shane O’Neill said avenging last year’s final defeat to Doon was never a factor in this decider.

Making amends for the defeat and the performance was certainly part of the plan but as goalkeeper Shane Dowling said in the build-up, taking back the cup from their rivals wasn’t a motivation.
