An impressive second-half showing saw Limerick overcome Tipperary at Páirc Uí Chaoimh
Limerick powered past Tipperary in the second half to move clear at the top of Division 1B of the Allianz Hurling League.
But with this their first serious test since last year’s All-Ireland final and the closest to their recognised line-up that they’ve fielded this year, they were slower to find a rhythm than Tipperary, though the standard wasn’t particularly high in a tame enough first half played in admittedly difficult conditions.
Mike Casey was caught under the ball from the crossfield delivery, allowing Forde to collect, turn inside and bat past Nickie Quaid. The Limerick half-back line took hold of the game in the second half, with Colin Coughlan having a storming third quarter and Cathal O’Neill locking down the middle. Their lead was a comfortable five points in injury time when a point from Forde and a Jake Morris goal, after Morrissey was careless in possession, cut it back to one but with more than the allotted six minutes having elapsed, there was no further action as the scoreboard somewhat flattered Tipp in the end.
