Munster club IHC: Fr O'Neills and Ballysaggart for final

Fr O'Neills and Ballysaggart will face off in the Munster club IHC final on Sunday, 24 November.

Declan Dalton fired 1-12 and Billy Dunne bagged a brace of goals as Fr O'Neills recorded an impressive 17-point victory over Clare champions Broadford in Midleton yesterday. 

Dalton, who was a key player for East Cork divisional side Imokilly in their recent county SHC three-in-a-row success, actually outscored Broadford with the scoreboard reading, 3-22 to 0-14, at the full-time whistle.

It wasn't as straight-forward for Waterford side Ballysaggart who survived a late onslaught from Sean Treacy's of Tipperary to hold on for a 0-15 to 1-11 win in yesterday's other semi-final at Fraher Field.

Trailing by 0-15 to 0-11 in injury-time, Sean Treacy's plundered a goal and almost forced extra-time when a late point effort fell short.

The Bennett brothers, Stephen, Shane and Kieran, contributed all bar one of Ballysaggart's scores, with Stephen leading the way with 0-9.
