Ballyhale Shamrocks of Kilkenny will play Borris-Ileigh of Tipperary in the AIB All-Ireland senior club hurling final in two weeks' time.

Colin Fennelly scored both goals for the Kilkenny champions in their 2-24 to 2-18 win over Derry side Slaughtneil in Newry earlier.

TJ Reid hit 0-11 in all, including ten from play, while Fennelly ended with 2-1.

Then Tipperary champions Borris-Ileigh beat St Thomas' of Galway on a 1-21 to 1-14 scoreline - a JD Devaney goal wrapping up the win late on at the LIT Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.

It will be a first national final in 33 years for Borris-Ileigh, with Brendan Maher starring for them this afternoon.

Maher scored ten points across the afternoon - with two of those from open play. This included an incredible score with a broken hurley.

The Tipperary side had led by two points at the break - on a 0-11 to 1-6 scoreline.

Elsewhere today Limerick booked their place in the Munster Senior Hurling League decider after an impressive win over Clare in Sixmilebridge.

John Kiely's side will take on Cork in the final on Sunday, January 12th.

Waterford were heavy winners today in the same competition - seeing off the challenge of Kerry's hurlers by 22 points.

The Dr. McKenna Cup today saw Monaghan miss a late penalty as they fell to a one-point defeat away to Donegal in Ballybofey.

Declan Bonner's home side had come back from five points down in that game to win.

Tyrone were six-point victors over Cavan in Omagh in their competition opener. Conall McCann bagged the Red Hand goal early in the second half.

Antrim earned a win against Fermanagh by the narrowest of margins, with two goals from Paddy McBride.
