A late point by substitute Micheal Grace earned Kilkenny their first brace of Allianz Hurling League points on a 0-15 to 0-14 scoreline in Nowlan Park. In a highly entertaining game the wind assisted homeside led 0-5 to 0-2 after nine minutes before a Limerick rally reduced the lead to a point approaching half time as Eddie Brennan and Richie Power added late points to leave it 0-11 to 0-7 at the break. Following an accidental clash that saw Brian Hogan and David Breen stretchered off, Kilkenny held sway until Andrew O Shaughnessey levelled the scores at 0-13 after twenty eight minutes. In the remaining minutes and added injury time an exchange of points saw the sides still level before Eddie Brennan set up the winning score.
