Na Piarsaigh hit form quickly in the opening quarter and led by four, but Ballygunner then punished a defensive error with Dessie Hutchinson netting the opening goal of the game. In typical fashion, William O’Donoghue broke out from a ruck and found Keith Dempsey with a pin point pass. Dempsey then raced through on goal and fired low past Stephen O’Keeffe.
But the 2-11 to 1-9 half-time lead was as good as it got for the Limerick champions as Ballygunner limited them to just four second-half points.Mahony hit the target three times in the opening seven minutes of the half with a long range Ronan Lynch effort being Na Piarsaigh’s response.
