Limerick sides seek final say

TOMORROW’S county senior football final is a reflection of the recent rise in Limerick’s football profile.

Though Dromcollogher-Broadford and Newcastlewest are amongst the oldest clubs in the county, it’s only in recent years that they’ve begun to rattle the cages of the big boys.

Newcastlewest won their first senior football county in 1987, followed it with another in 1992, while Drom-Broadford are of even more recent vintage, making their senior breakthrough just three years ago.
