Monaleen 2-14 Drumcollogher-Broadford 1-11

First half goals by halfback Shane Cusack and corner back Colm Moran inspired Monaleen to their sixth Limerick football title.

It a gripping final neither side had a wide in an opening half which produced a total of three goals and twelve points. At the break Monaleen led 2-7 to 1-5.

Drom/Broadford have built up a reputation for putting in big second half performances and when they rattled off three points in a row only a goal separated them after 50 minutes with Monaleen leading 2-10 to 1-10.

Barry Fitzpatrick was in super form in midfield-he scored three great points- and it was fitting that Ger Collins should finish top scorer as he re-ignited the Monaleen flame to nudge his team back in front again.
