HIGHLIGHTS | Limerick make hard work of Waterford but secure victory to earn provincial last four place

The Ballysteen man was equal to the task, cooly slotting home in the 48th minute and Limerick didn’t look back from here to take a hard-fought, but deserved win.

Limerick were made to work by the Deise but second-half goals from David O’Shaughnessy and Aaron Neville secured safe passage into the Munster U20 Football semi-final on Monday afternoon.

After briefly falling behind following three successive scores from the visitors, O’Shaughnessy struck for the crucial first goal before Neville ensured the result in Ballyagran.

It sets up a repeat of last year’s semi-final next Monday in Pairc Ui Rinn at 7pm against Cork.

It was a tense opening half in Ballyagran yesterday with the sides splitting just six points in the first thirty minutes. An O’Shaughnessy double had Limerick two clear five minutes after the restart before Waterford’s purple patch saw them take the advantage.

But the Ballysteen man was equal to the task, cooly slotting home in the 48th minute and Limerick didn’t look back from here to take a hard-fought, but deserved win.
