Croom ready to end the wait

CROOM bridged a 66-year gap at the Gaelic Grounds yesterday reaching their first Limerick Senior Hurling Championship final since 1941.

That year they won both titles, and on the evidence of their display over hot favourites Kilmallock in this semi-final, there is every chance they could reclaim the hurling crown.

Showing total disregard for their more fancied opponents, Croom outhurled their opponents from start to finish. That Kilmallock could only manage two points from play over the hour, speaks volumes for the tenacity of the winners’ defence throughout.
