Limerick aces trump weak Laois

Limerick 2-13 Laois 1-5

Limerick were competing in the higher grade for the first time and they held all the aces to get their campaign off to the perfect start.

Team coach Liam Kearns played down the victory, but was pleased with his side’s application. And considering he was short five first-team players through injury, Limerick can look forward with confidence.
