Limerick fight back to hold U21 crown
They showed admirable character in coming back to secure a deserved victory after losing an eight-point interval lead and falling behind briefly at the three-quarters stage.
With a minute of normal time remaining, Limerick enjoyed a three-point lead after Mark Keane hit two particularly vital scores. But with injury time lasting over four minutes, Cork promised a recovery with a 60th-minute free from substitute James Egan and another from him three minutes later. Ultimately, however, they were denied victory through their failure from frees at various stages and, vitally, by the tenacity of the Limerick backs in the closing stages.
