Champions Newcastle West had to find a late equaliser in their round one tie against Monaleen in the Limerick SFC.

Four of the six knockout places in the Limerick SFC were decided over the weekend after round four of the group stages while the remaining two quarter-final places will be determined after the final round of games next month.

A MIDDLE-AGED man who stepped outside in the early hours of the morning to see who was causing mayhem outside his front door was slapped in the head with a claw-hammer.
