Kilmallock punched their ticket directly to the Limerick SHC semi-finals with a game to spare, as a late goal from Aaron Costello saw them withstand Ahane’s fightback on Saturday evening.

Na Piarsaigh, thanks to their strong scoring differnece are all-but assured of a least a quarter-final. Monaleen and Ballybrown drew earlier on Saturday, but Na Piarsaigh can seal the other semi-final place, if they defeat Ballybrown in the final round.
