The Nire recovered from a slow start to beat Ballinacourty by 2-11 to 2-9 in yesterday's Waterford SFC semi-final at Fraher Field.

The blue and golds can now look forward to another county final against Kilrossanty - who booked their place in the decider four weeks ago - at the same venue next Sunday at 6pm.

A John Hurney goal helped Ballinacourty to a 1-5 to 0-6 interval lead, but The Nire resumed with an unanswered 1-2 - the goal coming from Dylan Guiry - to take a 1-8 to 1-5 lead. The losers had regained parity by the 48th minute before county hurler Jamie Barron edged The Nire back in front and Dylan Guiry bagged his second goal.

Conor Prunty pulled back a goal for 'Courty, but it was a case of too little, too late as The Nire knocked them out of the championship for the third year in-a-row.
