A late goal, from a penalty, from the experienced John Fitzgibbon was just enough as Adare came from behind to bag the win they needed to qualify for the last six of the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship.

Trumping west rivals Newcastle West, Adare are now in knockout hurling for the first time since 2017. Elsewhere, Dromin Athlacca’s stay at the top grade is over, having lost out to Mungret St. Paul’s, they are relegated after bagging a single draw from their five outings.
