FOR Kilmallock and Na Piarsaigh the road to the Whitebox Senior Hurling Championship final has been a familiar one.
Both clubs were able to take the direct route - securing byes to the semi-final by virtue of being first and second in Group 1 of the championship.
While both were made to sweat in their respective semi-finals, the pair were able to emerge with their ticket to Sunday SHC final.
It is the fourth time we've had this particular final pairing with the Balbec winning the first decider between the two in 2014 and the Caherdavin men bringing the Daly Cup up the road in 2017 and 2022.
In the Premier Intermediate decider, neighbours Bruff and Drominb-Athlacca will do battle in what is sure to be a mouth-watering encounter.
The pair met earlier on in the championship and it was Bruff who came out on top in a thrilling 1-18 to 2-14 win in Kilmallock.
