Live-wire Adare forwards lead Croom a merry dance

Adare 0-17 Croom 1-8

Reigning Limerick SHC champions Adare were beginning to look as though they’d pulverise Croom, as the hapless young challengers struggled to come to terms with what looked like the most well-oiled machine on display on the day.

In ideal Gaelic Grounds conditions, with 31 minutes gone on the clock Adare led by 0-12 to 0-3, all twelve of those points having come from play.
