Preview | St. Kieran’s prepare for first Munster championship in 10 years as they face Banner in semi-final

The Munster championship semi-final clash will be streamed live on Munster GAA TV.

St. Kieran’s travel to Ennis this weekend as they prepare to face Clare’s Banner in the Munster Junior Hurling Championship semi-final on Saturday.

A coveted place in the final is on the line for the victor with throw-in for the game at 1.15pm in Cusack Park.

The Limerick junior champions head into the last-four clash with fresh legs as they received automatic qualification to the round while Banner were victorious over Kerry’s Kilgarvan in their quarter-final round.

Their last outing was their Limerick JAHC final victory over Dromcollogher Broadford, where they were 0-14 to 1-6 winners in the All-West affair to crown an unbeaten campaign for the side, winning every game they placed in.

A slow start in the final was followed by a brilliant second half performance as the Ardagh outfit went one better than 2021 where they were bested by Caherline in the county decider.

Path to the Semi-Final

St. Kieran’s

  • R1 : 2-18 : 1-13 v Askeaton (W)
  • R2 : 2-17 : 0-14 v Feenagh Kilmeedy (W)
  • R3 : 3-17 : 2-7 v Ballybrown (W)
  • R4 : 2-15 : 0-13 v Doon (W)
  • R5 : 2-13 : 0-13 v Mungret St Paul’s (W)
  • QF : 1-16 : 0-10 v Kilteely Dromkeen (W)
  • SF : 2-17 : 1-13 v Killeedy (W)
  • Final : 0-14 : 1-6 v Dromcollogher Broadford

And it’s the first Munster Championship tie for the West-Limerick side in ten years, with their last journey ending in a final defeat to Cork’s Kildorrey. Prior to that they were comprehensive winners over Kilsheelan Kilcash and Kenmare Shamrocks.

Their opponents, Banner, will be vying for their first Munster final appearance in their history. The Clare side have already oversaw a quarter-final victory in the competition, with intercounty star Shane Meehan notching 2-12 of their 2-15 and will be a force to be reckoned with come Saturday.

A Munster final spot will be the reward for either side on Saturday and will crown impressive seasons for both teams.

St. Kieran’s face Banner at 1.15pm this Saturday at Cusack Park in the Munster Junior Hurling Championship semi-final.
