Shefflin on song for All-Ireland club champions as action continues in Clare, Limerick and Galway

Waterford senior hurling championship

The 2013 champions Passage were sensationally knocked out of the championship over the weekend after losing to 1-12 to 1-10 to old rivals Ballyduff Upper.

Passage’s unbeaten run in this year’s championship came to a shuddering halt as the Ballyduff side led at the break by 1-8 to 0-7, the goal coming from Andrew Casey.

There was also a shock in the other quarter-final as Dungarvan conceded two goals in the space of a minute to lose to Tallow by 3-13 to 0-18.

The game looked set for a Dungarvan win as they led by four heading towards the final three minutes until Ryan Grey wrote his name into the history books by raising two green flags in three minutes to sail through to the last four and set up a clash with the champions in the last four.

Elsewhere, Ballygunner were too strong Mount Sion as they recorded a 2-12 to 0-12 win on Saturday, and they will now meet a Fourmilewater side in the semis as they secured a five-point win over Roanmore, 1-17 to 1-12, with Conor Gleeson grabbing 0-5.

Clare senior hurling championship

Sixmilebridge will have to wait a week to find out their opponents in the Clare county hurling final after a thrilling weekend of action in Cusack Park.

The game is set to be replayed next week, with Sixmilebridge enjoying a two-week break ahead of the county final after their 3-21 to 3-13 win over Crusheen.

The 2013 champions led by 2-12 to 1-5 and despite a strong second-half push from the north Clare side, the ‘Bridge held on for the win as Niall Gilligan top scored with 0-7.

Limerick senior hurling championship

Patrickswell will need to wait to find out their county semi-final opponents after Adare and Ahane drew their last-eight clash.
