Big score there for Cushendall as we reach the halfway point in the first half. Shane McNaughton, the actor, fires over a beauty.

Neil McManus has missed two very scoreable frees for the Ulster champions and Na Piarsaigh have punished those misses, with Dowling (free), Peter Casey and Alan Dempsey pointing in quick succession to make the gap seven.

Looking ominous for the Dall;

Dowling with another free for Na Piarsaigh - he has been nerveless so far - and the Limerick champions lead by nine. A bloodied Neil McManus was forced off there, briefly, for Cushendall but he's back on the field now. And...Dempsey has added another for Na Piarsaigh.

so it seems!

GOAL FOR NA PIARSAIGH! A magnificent goal. A sweeping move ends up with Kevin Downes caressing the ball to the bottom left corner of the net in a deft, silky finish. Shane McNaughton and Conor Carson have responded for the Antrim champions but they trail by 11 now and are in real trouble.

Maybe they should get spiritual support from the ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn at half time?

In fairness, I don't think McManus should have taken them as the missed frees came right after his marker played whack-a-mole with his head. It should have been concussion protocol time after that, and someone else should have had a go at the free, as even unconcussed, he wasn't going to compose himself in time.

They are outmatched. Na Piarsaigh are direct, powerful and accurate. Cushendall have some lovely hurlers but they are swimming against the tide at the moment.

Na Piarsaigh will do well to win this by anything less than 15 pts

McManus with a point for Cushendall but it's hard to avoid the sense that their goose is cooked here.

GOAL FOR CUSHENDALL...but it's too late to have a real effect. McManus arrows one at goal from distance and Karl McKeegan flicks to the net, deftly, behind his back. We're almost into injury-time now, but to their credit, Cushendall, bearlike, have fought the course.
