BALLYBROWN withstood a fightback from Silvermines (Tipperary) to capture the Munster Junior B Hurling Championship title at St Ita’s Park, Raheenagh.
The Limerick outfit were 0-11 to 0-6 ahead at the turnaround, and held their opponents at arm’s length for most of the closing half.
In the dying stages, Silvermines threatened an upset and a great save from goalkeeper Conor O’Neill was necessary before Ballybrown triumphed, 0-18 to 0-15.
Andrew Cliffe (0-9) top-scored for Ballybrown, while other neat scores came from the likes of Ethan Keyes and Paul O’Neill.
