Lee’s side lie in 6th place of the league table but their 4 point haul does not tell the full story of what has been a largely positive campaign with tangible improvements on last year.

Narrow 1-point defeats away to Wexford and at home to a promoted Leitrim side was evidence of the incremental improvement of the side. The Derry performance and the last 20 minutes against Wicklow were the two days that Limerick simply were not up to the task.

Those games aside and Limerick were in contention in all the other ties. The game against Antrim will offer Limerick a good chance to build some critical momentum ahead of their clash with Tipperary in the Munster Championship.
