HIGHLIGHTS | Limerick outlast Galway to seal All-Ireland final berth

A fourth All-Ireland final in five years was secured after a titanic tussle over the weekend.

Limerick were made to work for their All-Ireland final place after being pushed to the edge by Galway in Croke Park at the weekend.

In the end it finished 0-27 to 1-21 in Limerick’s favour after a late flourish following the introduction of David Reidy who bagged a trio of points.

Limerick were 0-6 to 0-1 to the good inside eight minutes but Galway were guilty of a number of wides as the Shannonsiders took full advantage.

The Tribesmen did get within one of Limerick, but Kiely’s men pulled away towards the concluding stage of the first half leading 0-16 to 0-12.

But Galway had levelled by the time Limerick had scored next, Brian Concannon hitting the roof of the net.

The sides continued to exchange the lead throughout the second period until Reidy’s introduction settled Limerick.
