Lively Limerick hit Galway for six

Limerick 6-11 Galway 2-14

It was an excellent team performance from the home side who looked to be suffering from a hangover after their mid-week crisis when Eugene Cloonan beat debutante goalkeeper John Cahill inside 90 seconds, having already put a point on the board.

However, Limerick steadied themselves and, with newcomers Pat Conway and Donal O’Grady tightening up in defence, put their visitors back in their place.
