Gary Kirby got one over on fellow Limerick hurling legends Ciaran Carey and Mark Foley in yesterday's Munster club IHC semi-final at Austin Stack Park.

Kirby's Bruff side defeated Kerry senior kingpins Lixnaw, who are managed by Carey (his management team includes Foley), by 2-13 to 2-10 to set up a Munster final meeting with Cappoquin. The Waterford side edged out Clare's Feakle by 1-14 to 0-16 in the other semi-final.

A Chris Browne goal had given Bruff a slender 1-5 to 0-7 lead at the break before the introduction of former Kerry football star Paul Galvin - who appeared on The Late, Late Show on Friday night - appeared to give Lixnaw a new lease of life.

Goals from James Flaherty and Mike Conway put Lixnaw 2-9 to 1-10 up, only for Bruff to reply with a goal of their own from Shane Finn, and they eventually won by three points.
