Dunnamaggin started the brightest running up a 0-6 to 0-3 lead after 15 minutes, this form continued and they led by six points at half-time, 0-11 to 0-5. On the restart Cloughduv began to get a grip on the game and it was their two second half goals, the second of which arrived right at full time which forced the game to extra-time. Extra-time was a close affair throughout with both sides exchanging points and it was the bare minimum that seperated the teams when the final whislte blew after over 80 minutes of hurling, the score 0-23 to 2-16 to the Kilkenny sides favour. An All-Ireland Final now awaits Dunnamaggin with full fixture details to be confirmed soon.

Graigue Ballycallan come up short against Charleville
Hard luck to Graigue Ballycallan who came up short against a dogged Charleville in Thurles today. It was a close battle in the first half with Graigue Ballycallan and Charleville exchanging points in a tit for tat battle, but it was Graigue who entered the dressing room two points to the good, 0-9 to 0-7 at halt-time. On the restart it was much of the same but a goal for Charleville on 47 minutes proved decisive and gave them the confidence to push on. Graigue however staged a mini comeback with a goal of their own through Aaron Brennan in added time but it was too late. The final score was 1-13 to 1-15 with Charleville proceeding to the All Ireland Final.
All attention now turns to Dunnamaggin who will face Cloughduv in their All-Ireland Junior S/F in Fraher Field, Dungarvan tomorrow (Sunday) at 2pm. Best wishes to them.
