First summer sweat as Limerick dig out victory

For the first time this summer, Limerick’s U21 hurlers were made to sweat.

Go back to the Munster final and while Cork asked questions of Limerick, that examination never extended to the scoreboard. Two points was as close as Cork came of their opponents that evening. With 13 minutes remaining on Saturday, Galway were two clear – having fought back from five down.

Five minutes into the second-half of this All-Ireland semi-final, Galway ‘keeper Darragh Gilligan got his stick to a Barry Nash shot.
