They started their campaign well with convincing wins over St. Brendan\u2019s and Drogheda Wolves, losing only one pool game against Blue Demons. We secured a spot in the quarter finals and played an epic game against Dublin Lions. Heading into half-time 10 points down, the Limerick lads had to dig deep and claw back some important scores, managing to force the game into extra time. Unfortunately it wasn\u2019t to be, with Dublin Lions taking the 1 point win in extra time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-134fa6e\" data-id=\"134fa6e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6c4b0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6c4b0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"449\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/U18.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1216\" alt=\"U18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/U18.jpg 449w, https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/U18-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-73b84f5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73b84f5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0f7709d\" data-id=\"0f7709d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b1c8c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7b1c8c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"315\" height=\"186\" src=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/U15.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-1217\" alt=\"U15\" srcset=\"https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/U15.jpg 315w, https:\/\/limericklions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/U15-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4912191\" data-id=\"4912191\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c824a56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c824a56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>U15<\/strong><br \/>Our U15\u2019s travelled to Galway to play against two Galway Titan teams.
