My 12 year old has concluded that Limerick have the most trampish supporters out there. Two little gurriers ran in and nicked his two sliotars when he was pucking around on the pitch afterwards. He’s never lost a sliotar at a match anywhere before.
Waterford were game enough for an hour against a lacklustre Limerick and were probably even the better side. Game turned on two goals in a minute. Mark Fitzgerald showed a great burst of speed to get out to a ball that he had no business getting to, then he showed he’s a half back out of position at full back not clearing his lines and getting dispossessed. The second Limerick goal should never have materialised as it was a Waterford free when the Limerick player dropped the hurl.
The Big House was well looked after when the game was in the balance and a nice 74th minute consolation penalty for Waterford from James Owens.
Few decent showings for Waterford. Callum Lyons roasted Kyle Hayes in the first half and Shane Bennett was good.
I’d say Jamie Barron, Tadhg de Burca and Stephen Bennett have all hurled their last game for Waterford. Possibly some or all of Aussie, Dessie and Patrick Curran as well.
