Monaleen turn it round to claim crown

A TALE of two halves in Newcastle West yesterday as Monaleen claimed their fourth Limerick SFC title at the expense of an Adare side bidding for their first.

Monaleen turn it round to claim crown

Mon, 18 Oct, 2010 - 01:00

Monaleen 1-9 Adare 1-5 Brendan Mooney

The opening 30 minutes pointed towards a fairytale success for a club more accustomed to hurling crowns in recent seasons. Boosted by a cracking Liam Costello goal in the 18th minute along with points from James Hickey and Mickey Lyons, Adare were 1-5 to 0-4 ahead at the interval as Monaleen fumbled and stumbled around the pitch.

Only the free-taking of Gavin (3) and a Jason O’Brien effort kept the city outfit in touch.
