‘We are hoping Nemo Rangers have a bad day’, says Adare's Harry Gleeson

They didn’t need to win a first county senior title for Harry Gleeson to be told his Adare footballers were in bonus territory. He’s had those words ringing in his ears since the middle of last summer.

Adare were relegated from the senior ranks at the end of the 2015 season and despite still having plenty of survivors from the team defeated in the 2010 county final, few outside of the picturesque Limerick town gave them any chance of returning to the senior ranks.

“When we got out of our group in last year’s intermediate championship, I was told it was bonus territory from here on in,” says Adare manager Gleeson.
