Limerick punished for inept display

Limerick 1-12

For Limerick, still to open their account, it was a day of absolute disaster. As manager Dave Keane said after his charges plummeted to defeat: "We simply cannot go any lower than this. We have lost it. We had no cohesion, no purpose, no game plan.We are at rock-bottom now and there is only one way we can go."

But on the evidence provided by his team's dismal performance, Keane will have his work cut out to provide a miraculous cure to get Limerick back up among the game's elite.
