Kilrossanty are celebrating their first ever win in the Munster Hurling Championship.
Thirteen points from Padraig Fitzgerald and a late save from Rian Hogan saw the green and gold defeat Feenagh Kilmeedy from Limerick by 0-19 to 0-17 in the provincial junior quarter final at Lemybrien on Saturday afternoon.
Nine weeks ago, Kilrossanty lost the county final to Roanmore by sixteen points but Dale Power's men played with fire and determination to knock out last year's provincial finalists.
With new Waterford boss Peter Queally watching on, Padraig Fitzgerald gave a clinic of point taking from right half forward. He slotted eight points from play, four frees and a 65. Twin brother Seamus swept in front of the full back line all afternoon. Déise Under 20 forward Jack Power delivered three points from play.
In the fourth minute of injury time, with three between them, Kilrossanty netminder Rian Hogan flicked a fierce shot from Diarmuid Coleman over the bar. Coleman finished with fourteen points for the visitors. The home fans erupted seconds later when the final whistle sounded.
