Griffin goal fires Adare as three-goal Russell shows way for Na Piarsaigh

CHAMPIONS Adare got off to a winning start in their bid for a four in-a-row in the Limerick senior hurling championship.

They trailed Garryspillane 0-9 to 0-6 at half-time but a Willie Griffin goal in the 38th minute saw them ease to a 1-20 to 0-11 win last evening in Kilmallock.

Also last evening, last season’s beaten finalists Na Piarsaigh were 5-14 to 0-6 winners over Claughaun.
