Mark Connolly set to play crucial role as Limerick look to overpower Waterford

Limerick will have high hopes of claiming victory in tonight’s Electric Ireland Munster MFC play-off against Waterford in Newcastle West (throw-in 7pm).

Both counties will be hoping to recover from heavy defeats in their respective quarter-finals last week, although Limerick will take some comfort from putting up a half-decent score against Cork.

Their two first-half goals, scored by Mark Connolly, at least kept them in the tie, although the dependency on the Adare player will have to be spread around the forward line.
