Ballygunner and Passage seeking Co. Final spot this afternoon

Ballygunner and Passage seeking Co. Final spot this afternoon

It's a local derby affair in the Co. Senior hurling Championship semi-final this afternoon.

Five in a row chasing Ballygunner take on their neighbours Passage in Walsh Park.

The Gunners who claimed their first four in a row last season, were pushed all the way by Roanmore in their recent Quarter-Final but came through by three points.

Passage arguably gave the most impressive display in their Quarter-Final as they hammered Dungarvan rattling in five goals in the process.

Ballygunner boss is former Déise captain Fergal Hartley, he says Passage will come with a massive challenge this afternoon.

Passage claimed their first and only senior title when they defeated Ballygunner in a dramatic decider in 2013 but Reds manager John Tracey says they've moved on since then.

John says there's a nice blend of youth and experience in their panel.

Throw-in is at 3pm and WLR will bring you all the action live thanks to George Corbett Skoda, with commentary team Kieran O' Connor and Dan Shanahan.
