MARK Hickey hit 0-12 as Kilbrittain booked their place in the All-Ireland club junior hurling final.

The Carbery trailblazers defeated Leinster and Wexford champs Davidstown-Courtnacuddy by 2-15 to 1-16 in a semi-final in Clonmel on Saturday afternoon.

Kilbrittain will meet Easkey of Sligo in the All-Ireland final after they defeated Burt (Donegal) by 4-23 Burt to 1-22 after extra time.

Hickey emerged as Kilbrittain’s hero, tagging on five points down the home stretch as the West Cork men made a winning move.

Conor Hogan scored a first-half goal for the winners who led 1-8 to 0-10 at the break. Luke Griffin scored Kilbrittain’s second goal in the second period, but Davidstown battled back to level. Then, Hickey stepped up and fired his club into an historic All-Ireland final in early January.
