ICYMI: Limerick’s hurlers return to league’s top flight with win in Wexford

Limerick began life back in Division 1A of the Allianz Hurling League with a 1-17 to 2-11 win against Wexford at Wexford Park.

Aaron Gillane’s 1-5 helped Limerick overcome a strong Wexford challenge to earn a victory in their first Division 1A game since 2010.

After the game, Limerick manager John Kiely was a happy man.

“I was delighted to get two points and get off the mark and get a win. Any day you get a win down here is a good day’s work.”
