Ballygunner continue their bid for a sixth Co. Senior hurling Championship title in a row when they face Dungarvan in Fraher Field this afternoon at the semi-final stage.

The Gunners have carried their unbeaten form into this season and again remain the team to beat, they were impressive Quarter-Final winners over Passage.

Dungarvan will be confident heading into this one, after their dramatic derby win over Abbeyside last time out.

Gunners captain Philip Mahony says they won't be taking anything for granted; "Dungarvan are a great side with Jimmy Meaney over them this year, they'd a great win against local rivals Abbeyside and anything less that our best we'll be knocked out of the Championship".

Later this evening, it's an all-Eastern affair in the Co. Senior hurling Championship semi-final as De La Salle and Mount Sion lock horns in Walsh Park.

The Graecedieu outfit were narrowly beaten by Abbbeyside at this stage last season and they'll be keen to return to the county final, they were pushed all the way by Roanmore in their Quarter-Final tie.

Mount Sion have been impressive this season under John Meaney, and they will be confident following their Quarter-Final win over Lismore.

De La Salle midfielder Eddie Barrett says they were well tested in their Quarter-Final.

Eddie says getting back to another decider would be massive; "last year was massively disappointing there's no doubt that and hopefully we'll learn from than and can go one step further this year".

Mount Sion boss John Meaney says his charges will be doing their utmost to reach the decider.

Throw-in is @ 5:15pm, and Tomás McCarthy will have updates here on WLR.
