Wexford Senior Hurling Champions Naomh Eanna defeated Laois champions Camross on Sunday afternoon at O’Moore Park.
Full time:
Camross 2-16
Naomh Eanna 3-18
Another dominant performance from the Gorey town side means the Naomh Eanna Senior hurlers continue to find themselves in unknown territory.
Now, awaiting the Gorey side is the final four of the Leinster club hurling championship; the semi-final stages in the club’s maiden year as Wexford Senior Hurling Champions.
A victory against Camross, which never looked in doubt from the offset, has set up a mouth-watering home clash against Kilkenny hurling champions, Ballyhale Shamrocks.
Ballyhale Shamrocks, managed by all-time hurling great Henry Shefflin, will compete in the Leinster semi-final versus Naomh Eanna in Innovate Wexford Park on November 18th at 1.30pm.
A win would set up a Leinster Club Senior hurling final against the winners of Offaly’s Coolderry and Dublin’s Ballyboden St Endas.
Albeit, Naomh Eanna will continue to take it one game at a time.
They’ll have a returning Cathal Dunbar, who’ll be back from his one-game suspension for the ‘helmet’ saga. However, they’re likely to be without their two corner-backs Eoin Molloy and Peter ‘Pedro’ Travers after they received suspensions following a Leinster Club Junior football game.
Ballyhale Shamrocks possess All-Star talents of the caliber of Michael Fennelly, TJ Reid, and Colin Fennelly, while attacker Adrian Mullen is tipped heavily in Kilkenny as one for the future.
A huge crowd is expected to cheer on the Wexford champions at Innovate Wexford Park in two weeks time. This is one not to be missed.
