Kilkenny 3-17

Limerick 1-15

AFTER THE SUFFERING of final losses at the hands of Limerick in recent times, came a game to inject confidence into the Kilkenny camp as they changed that pattern of results. 

Derek Lyng’s side ultimately cantered to this Division 1 league semi-final success at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in a game that saw both teams finish with 14 men, key forwards Eoin Cody and Peter Casey dismissed in the second half.

Cody was one of three first-half goalscorers for Kilkenny, Luke Hogan and TJ Reid also raising green flags as they went ahead 3-6 to 1-6 at the break.
