Maher leads rout as Ireland wrap up series

Ireland 8-11 (51) Scotland 4-3 (23) (Ireland win series 6-2)

Allied to that goal glut was the excellence of home goalkeeper Bernard Rochford, who pulled off a string of stunning saves to deny the Scots on at least six occasions.

Between the seventh and 17th minute the hosts simply cut loose and Tipperary star Patrick Maher kick-started the goal spree before Shane Dooley added a brace, while Brendan Murtagh was another to get on the scoresheet.
