Eoin Hurely leads the way with 2-4 including four frees as Newcastle West once again hold onto the county title
Eoin Hurley notched 2-4 as Newcastle West saw off Adare in the Limerick football final. Photograph: Laszlo Geczo/InphoIn what was the third time these two sides met in the senior county final in as many years, two first half goals from Hurley were the difference as the Magpies held the narrowest of winning margins at the break – 2-2 to 0-7 – despite not scoring a point from play in the opening 30 minutes.
Newcastle West, who had yet to score from play, got their much-needed goal five minutes before the half-time break. It was suddenly a one-point game when lively corner forward Eoin Hurley was quickest to react to a off-target shot from towering full-forward Mike McMahon to palm into the back of the net.
Adare’s mini-resurgence didn’t last long, however, as Byran Nix took full advantage of a stretch Adare defence directly after the kickout to slot the ball past Alferd after collecting a superbly timed and excellently weighted Corbett handpass.
