ECONOMICAL Adare overcame Fr Casey’s (Abbeyfeale), 1-10 to 0-8, to claim the Irish Wire Products Limerick Senior Football Championship at Mick Neville Park, Rathkeale.
It was a fourth title for Adare, all achieved under the astute management of Harry Gleeson.
An early goal from man-of-the-match Hugh Bourke helped the Maiguesiders into a 1-5 to 0-2 half-time lead.
Casey’s threatened the outcome with some lovely points from Eliah Riodan, Rory O’Brien, Daniel Daly (captain), and Martin Scanell but the champions of 2017, ‘18 and ‘20 finished the hour better with some fine scores of their own from Bourke and the Lyons brothers of Mikey and Davy.
Adare were well captained from centre-back by Eoghan Costello.
Next up for the winners is a weekend away outing to Cusack Park, Ennis and a tilt with Éire Óg in the opening round of the Munster Championship.
