Limerick hurling championship: Bouncers continue Limerick surprises
Favoured by the strong wind in the first half, The Bouncers must have felt insecure after 20 minutes when they led by just four points 0-5 to 0-1. However, county player Donie Ryan, with considerable assistance from brother TJ and Frankie Carroll, took control up front and a string of points from the latter extended advantage to 0-11 to 0-3 at the interval.
Adare were slow off the mark when they had the elements behind them, and with just two points from Conor Fitzgerald inside 10 minutes, matched by Michael O’Donnell and TJ Ryan, they were in serious trouble.
