Lively Limerick canter to victory

AS Mike McNamara remarked after this League encounter, it was obvious which of these teams contested the All-Ireland final last year.

Predominant for much of the first half, McNamara’s side bowed out tamely in this third round NHL fixture at the Gaelic Grounds yesterday.

The first of the Limerick goals, from Sean O’Connor in the 32nd minute, gave them the boost they needed prior to the interval and the game turned their way after Ollie Moran set up Andrew O’Shaughnessy for their second, 10 minutes into the second half.
