THE LIMERICK ladies football championship got underway at the weekend with a host of games taking place from Senior through to Junior.
Senior title holders Monagea got off to a winning start with a narrow one point win over Old Mill in the opening fixture of the campaign.
They got over the line with a scoreline of 0-15 to Old Mill's 1-11. Monagea will be hoping to keep their winning streak going when they face Ballylanders in the next fixture of the round-robin.
Old Mill will want to put their disappointing start behind them when they take on Feohanagh/Castlemahon.
In group two of the Senior ranks, Oola got the better of St.Ailbes 1-09 to 0-10.
St.Ailbes will be able to go back to the drawing board with a bye in the next round while Oola take on Dromcollogher Broadford.
In the Intermediate championship group one, Knockainey's second goal was the deciding factor in their game against Mungret St.Pauls.
The club's 2-07 to 1-07 victory puts them at the top of their group before the second round fixture against Adare, who had a tough opening loss to Murroe Boher on a scoreline of 6-11 to Adare's 1-10.
In group two of the Intermediate ranks, Galtee Gaels had the only draw of the weekend against St.Brigids.

Groody Gaels got off to winning ways against St. Ailbes on a full-time scoreline of 0-13 to 1-06.
