LIMERICK senior hurlers made it three wins on the bounce in Division 1A of the Allianz Hurling League thanks to a 2-19 to 0-17 success over Offaly at Glenisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Sunday afternoon.
Aidan O’Connor notched 0-10 for the Shannonsiders in their latest league win, including eight first half points, in the eight point success.
It marked the third game in a row that the Ballybrown man got his personal tally into double figures.
