Limerick's new power Mungret St Paul’s ready to face Newcastle West's winning machine

Mungret St. Paul’s teams have been promoted in all four codes since 2021. Victory in Limerick's SFC final would represent a another milestone in one of Munster’s largest clubs, who are threatening to dominate at a plethora of grades

New kids on the block Mungret St. Paul’s seek a maiden Limerick SFC crown on Sunday, with seven-time champions Newcastle West their final hurdle. The 2023 Intermediate winners dethroned Adare last weekend and now have their sights on Newcastle West – who needed extra-time to see off Fr. Casey’s.

The Magpies are appearing in a remarkable seventh final in eleven seasons – and despite changing their management team mid-season arrive as favourites and unbeaten. The city side have lost just twice from thirteen senior outings having eventually rejoined Limerick’s top table.
