Waterford 2-7 Limerick 0-7: Although a heavy midweek defeat to Cork meant they relinquish the McGrath Cup title that they won 12 months ago for the first time in 34 years, Waterford signed off their campaign in Munster’s secondary senior football competition with an impressive victory yesterday over Limerick in a wet and windy Rathkeale.

Three first-half goals eased Cork past the hapless challenge of 13-man Waterford in this massively one-sided and ultimately futile McGrath Cup fixture.
