‘Missed chances cost us dear’

DEFIANT losing manager Richie Bennis refused to accept that this year’s Liam MacCarthy is now beyond Limerick’s reach.

The Limerick manager argued that with 10 minutes to go his side were still in with a realistic chance of victory, but accepted that once the second Waterford goal went in it all fell apart for the Shannonsiders.

“At this level you have to take your chances. We had two early in the first half for goals, which would have given us a nice cushion, but they didn’t go in and that proved extremely costly,” said Bennis.
