This year will be the first since 2016 that Doon, Kilmallock, Na Piarsaigh and Patrickswell aren’t the final four, with South Liberties eliminating the ‘Well last Sunday in the quarters.
Kilmallock are reigning champions with Na Piarsaigh seeking a first success since 2020, which was a sixth title in ten years. Meanwhile, South Liberties have to go all the way back to 1981 for their most recent championship win. Doon are yet to claim the title, losing a pair of finals in the past four years.
This year’s decider is set to take place on Sunday October 30 in the TUS Gaelic Grounds.
