Adare dig deep to repel Murroe/Boher

ADARE’S qualification for their sixth Limerick senior hurling final this decade was far from impressive in the Gaelic Grounds yesterday.

But for wasting chances, Murroe/Boher might well have ended their reign. Instead, when their title looked in jeopardy entering the last five minutes, Adare showed character to pull away with four unanswered points.

As it turned out, the good start which the holders made, going 1-3 clear after nine minutes, proved invaluable. With Murroe/Boher finding it difficult to score, Adare managed to stay in front until 12 minutes from the end.
