FR CASEYS
Senior West League
Fr. Caseys 0-13 Drom/Broadford 0-07
Fr. Caseys travelled to Dromcolliher last Tuesday evening to take on Drom/Broadford in round 2 of the West League. After a hard fought win over Rathkeale in the opening round, our seniors were keen to continue winning ways. Fr. Caseys kicked the opening point of the night but Drom responded with two points of their own. Three more points from open play put the Abbeyfeale men back in front after 20 minutes. Inside the closing stages of the half, the teams traded points to leave Fr. Caseys 0-05 to 0-03 in front at the break.
A bright start to the second half with three further points added to scoreboard had Fr. Caseys in a commanding five point lead. Drom fought hard to start their comeback but despite reducing the margin to four points on three occasions, Fr. Caseys were on hand to response immediately and restore their advantage. Inside the last five minutes Fr. Caseys stretched the lead to seven points but Drom would kick the last point of the night to leave the final score, Fr. Caseys 0-13, Drom/Broadford 0-07. After a blistering start to the second half the result was never in doubt and claiming maximum points away from home was a job well done ahead of league games with Adare and Ballysteen in the coming weeks.
Limerick GAA
Well done to the Limerick Senior Footballers who defeated Clare after a penalty shoot-out last Saturday evening in Cusack Park Ennis to book a place in the Munster Semi-Final vs Tipperary on Saturday May 14th. Having rescued a draw with a last minute free, Limerick were the more commanding side in extra time but with the last kick of the game Clare levelled proceedings to bring the game to penalties. Limerick held no fear however in the shootout and ran out 4-1 winners to continue their rich vein of form. Well done to Adrian Enright who gave an impressive display at wing forward and we look forward to the away trip to Thurles in the coming weeks.
Well done also to our County Minor Footballers who defeated Waterford with ten points to spare last Thursday evening in phase 3 of the Munster Championship and now face Tipperary this Thursday evening in Mallow at 7pm with a place in the Munster Semi-Final up for grabs. Best of luck to Michael, Cian, Calum and Adam.
Also next Sunday our County Hurlers return to championship action taking on Tipperary in the Gaelic Grounds where victory will almost guarantee a Munster Final spot. The throw in time is 2pm with tickets available at the usually online and retail stores.
