Waterford IT turn on power to breeze past UL

Waterford IT 1-16 University of Limerick 2-3

On a difficult playing surface that was also heavily frozen in parts, victory would always come through the dint of graft rather than fast and free flowing hurling. In that respect WIT always looked to be the more determined and resolute outfit, and having built up a commanding interval lead, they comfortably defended it in the face an improved UL second-half performance.

Plenty of room for WIT improvement, however, and that improvement will be a must if they hope to lift the trophy in next Sunday’s decider against Limerick.
