Limerick weather major storm to reach minor final

Limerick 0-15 Dublin 0-12

The Shannonsiders battered and bossed game Dublin at times but still found themselves behind for the first time turning into the closing nine minutes. But a lethal mix of skilful hurling and determination turned things around and left Limerick licking their lips at the prospect of a September 11 showdown with Galway.

“That was our season in a nutshell,” admitted manager Tim O’Connor when the dust settled on a famous victory that earned Limerick a place in their first minor final since they last won the title in 1984.
