Waterford put on a show but Limerickmake their point

The only winner may have been the division itself, which is sure to go to the last game now, or, the proverbial game of hurling itself of course, but as this was billed as a match neither side could really afford to lose, the end result was a victory of sorts.
You couldn’t say Limerick deserved to lose or that Waterford deserved to win. What anyone among the 3,502 here though would have to conclude though is that Waterford wouldn’t have deserved to lose.
