Limerick U23 camogie side undone by Antrim in All-Ireland semi-final

LIMERICK’S U23 camogie side failed in their bid to reach the All-Ireland final when they lost by a point to Antrim in their fixture at Trim GAA Club.

David Deady’s side were two points to the good late one but three scores on the bounce from the Saffron County saw them reach the decider instead after a 2-10 to 1-12 victory.

Limerick were four down at half-time but fought back with Amy Burke’s goal putting them one point clear heading into the final 10 minutes. However, Antrim’s late rally broke Limerick hearts.

Most of the Limerick panel and Deady will now turn their attentions to the All-Ireland senior camogie championship which begins in the coming weeks.
