Flynn works the magic for Decies

Waterford 1-12

Taking inspiration from the skilful Paul Flynn, rightly credited afterwards by Justin McCarthy as the difference between the sides, the Decies ended a 20-year wait in Thurles on Saturday evening by making it back to a second consecutive Munster hurling final.

It wasn't achieved in a very convincing manner, but, on a night when Limerick struggled in attack and obviously missed Andrew O'Shaughnessy, they always looked the more likely to triumph in this semi-final replay.
