Monaleen hold on to book quarter-final spot in Limerick

At the weekend, Adare face Dromin Athlacca, while Mungret St. Paul’s meet Kildimo Pallaskenry (Friday). At this juncture, Adare may be slight favourites to grab the other quarter-final spot, though the plethora of draws make that far from certain.
