The SHC final throws in at 15:45 on Sunday, 24th October in the TUS Gaelic Grounds. Referee Eamon Stapleton will take charge of the tie.

The match will be shown live on the TG4 show GAA BEO with coverage starting at 15:15 on Sunday.

Kilmallock took the long route to reach this final. After they finished in second place to Na Piarsaigh in the group, narrowly beating out Ballybrown, the south sided team beat ‘A’ final runners up South Liberties.

Last week the team needed a very spirited and powerful display to knock out Doon with a scoreline of 4-20 to 2-16.

Freetaker Michael Houlihan will be an important part of the scores in this final. He will also need help from the forward partnership of Oisin O’Reilly and Graeme Mulcahy in order to claim silverware.

Patrickswell followed a similar path to their opponents after finishing second in the group behind Doon. Subsequent victories against ‘A’ final winners Adare and favorites Na Piarsaigh go them to the big stage.

That win against the current titleholders was very impressive, grinding out a five-point lead in the later stages of the match to win.

Tobar Padraig is a club made of a few of Limerick’s new golden generation and they will be hungry for another trophy.

Match Betting

Kilmallock to Win: 15/8

Draw: 9/1

Patrickswell: 1/2

Score Prediction

On Sunday we will find out if Ciaran O’Connor and his defense will be enough to keep out Cian Lynch and the Gillane brothers. Although Patrickswell is the clear favorite going into the tie, this game will not be a landslide or won with any great ease.

Expect Patrickswell to win the final by around three points.

Both Limerick semi-finals will be streamed live by Limerick GAA TV, in conjunction with Sporting Limerick’s partner company, Stream Sport Ireland.

This year’s final four teams exactly match those from last year. Don and Na Piarsaigh were the two victors that ended up contesting the final.

Last year’s finalists also qualified automatically for the penultimate round after they finished top of their groups in the previous stage. Instead, Kilmallock and Patrickswell took a much tougher route to the semis.

Kilmallock only beat South Liberties by four points in a high-scoring, enthralling encounter in the Gaelic Grounds last Sunday. The game ended with an astonishing scoreline of 1-33 to 5-17 to Kilmallock.

Patrickswell’s match was not as eventful but even higher as they edged out Adare by 0-20 to 0-18.

It will be interesting to see if the extra week of hurling will have tired the teams out or will it have given them some much-needed courage.

Soon there will be 12 teams from the All-Ireland champions club tournament going for the John Daly Cup.

The most successful team in the history of the competition is Patrickswell GAA with 20 county championships. Now the new all-star team and current titleholders are Na Pairsaigh going for the seventh title this year.

Kilmallock seems to be one of the bookies’ outside shouts for the competition this year, hoping to go one better than some of their previous seasons.

The draw is made up of four groups with three teams. The top teams will qualify for the county quarterfinals while second place will go into the knockout round. Bottom place in each group will go into a relegation playoff for next season.

Group 1: Na Pairsaigh, Kilmallock, Ballybrown,

Group 2: Patrickswell, Doon, Ahane

Group 3: South Liberties, Blackrock, GarrySpillane

Group 4: Adare, Monaleen, Kildimo Pallaskenry
