It was a bitter pill to swallow for the Leesiders, who have been UL’s victims on each occasion.

There was confusion last night about the final score of the Littlewoods Ireland Camogie League Division 1 clash between Limerick and Tipperary at LIT Gaelic Grounds.

The scoreline does not reflect the magnificent efforts of Tipperary in the first half but it does showcase once more the ability of All-Ireland senior camogie champions Cork to produce a performance in a pressure situation.

Champions Kilkenny got their Double Double bid under way with a smooth success over Waterford at Walsh Park.
