Preparations For The Upcoming Munster Final is well Underway in Lismore

Saturday next November 11th all roads will head over the Knockmealdowns as the Lismore Senior Camogie team will take on Corks Newcestown in the 2017 Munster Intermediate Club final in Cahir GAA Grounds for a 2pm start..

Lismore Senior Team had a tough campaign heading into this final which will stand to them as they take on Corks Newcestown. In the County Championship the Lismore girls beat St. Anne’s and De La Salle and drew with Gaultier and Cappoquin thus earning them a place in the County Semi Final which was against De La Salle where they had a comprehensive win.

It was then on to the County Final on October 7th against last years County Champions Gaultier , this game was indeed a very tough affair in which the Lismore girls came out victorious on a score line of Lismore 2-10 Gaultier 0-11. 

Next up was the Munster semi-final which was against Tipperary’s Silvermines in Silvermines on October 27th. The girls once more strutted their stuff and overcame the Tipperary champions on a score line of Lismore 4-6 Silvermines 1-10.

This will be Lismore’s 6th Munster final since 2010 and have won 4 of the last five they have played in, so they are now going for their 5th victory in this competition. We urge all to come out in large numbers on Saturday to shout on our girls in Cahir.

An Interesting fact!
