THE line-up for the semi-finals of both the Senior and Premier Intermediate Hurling semi-finals were confirmed at the weekend.
Kilmallock earned a most hard-earned 1-22 to 2-17 win over Ballybrown at Mick Neville Park, Rathkeale.
Here, impact substitute Conor Hanley-Clarke contributed handsomely with five important points.
Shane O’Brien (1-5) and Ballybrown’s Aidan O’Connor (0-8) joint top-scored.
Kilmallock now meet holders Na Piarsaigh.
Following a ferocious test, Ciaran Carey’s Patrickswell overcame Monaleen, 0-20 to 0-18, in Bruff.
On his return, Aaron Gillane stroked over seven points for the ‘Well, for whom the ageless Mark Carmody, Cian Lynch, Diarmaid Byrnes and Evan Fitzgerald struck crucial late scores.
Patrickswell now tackle Doon.
The Premier Intermediate semi-finals are also scheduled for the weekend, with outright favourites Newcastle West against Effin and Bruff versus Garryspillane.
