HIGHLIGHTS | Limerick Minors hold off Waterford in horrendous conditions

Evan Loftus praised his side for their efforts in testing conditions as they welcome Clare next weekend in a meeting of the round one winners.

Limerick got the job done in difficult conditions to kick of their Munster Minor Hurling Championship campaign with victory in Dungarvan on Tuesday evening.

With rain bucketing down throughout the contest, Cathal Hayes’ first-half goal proved the difference in the 1-7 to 0-7 result for the visitors.

Evan Loftus’ side led from start to finish against the hosts who laid siege on the Limerick goal late on but to no avail. Limerick had scorers from five different players with just one of their points coming from a placed ball.

Limerick now welcome Clare next Tuesday after the Banner had seven points to spare over Tipperary yesterday.
