Comfortable win gives Limerick lift for final

Limerick 1-13 Waterford 0-10

Five years have elapsed since the Shannonsiders won their only provincial title and on the evidence of this performance, they are capable of extending Cork in the decider.

Playing controlled football, with senior player Seanie Buckley and Alan McEntee contributing greatly in midfield, their scores were evenly distributed, and it was left to substitute John Cooke to claim the game’s only goal seven minutes from the finish.
