O’Callaghan edges Limerick to victory
After being thumped in their first outing by Louth, Limerick showed vast improvement in a game that was decided by a 73rd-minute point by Kieran O’Callaghan.
Limerick made a splendid start, racing four points ahead by the 11th minute. That scoring burst included a couple of super long-range scores by midfielders John Galvin and Thomas Cahill. Roscommon full-forward Senan Kilbride opened their account in the 14th minute but Limerick still commanded 0-5 to 0-1 advantage 10 minutes later.
