Limerick claim victory in Nowlan Park

The 2018 All-Ireland champions claimed all two points following their assignment in Nowlan Park on Sunday. The opening twenty minutes were a close affair but a period of Limerick dominance just before half time in which they claimed 2-3 proved crucial to the outcome. The teams headed to the dressing room at half-time with the score standing at 2-10 to 0-7 in Limericks favour. The second half proved to be a tough test for the home side with the visitors failing to give much away. Both teams recorded eight points in the second half, the game ending on a scoreline of 2-18 to 0-15.

Kilkenny now have two away games, first up is Tipperary next weekend in Thurles on Sunday at 2pm, followed by Wexford away the following Sunday.
