All-Ireland champions back on the trail and road ends for their old challengers Galway

The context was that Waterford looked burned out. I thought they would be able to bring another good performance but it was clear that having put in such a heroic shift in Ennis a week ago for no reward they were running on empty.Departing Galway and Waterford find their hopes turn to ‘if onlys’ Instead of launching a comeback Waterford managed just one more score – and conceded nine. Limerick were simply dominant despite playing into the wind.
Mike Casey played well in defence on his return from injury. Diarmaid Byrnes was improved, Declan Hannon good and Kyle Hayes outstanding as he chipped in with three points and an assist for one of Tom Morrissey’s. It was ironic that Galway, a team that Limerick were always wary of because of the physicality they could bring and up until last year opponents who could run them close, are now out of the championship.
