Limerick 1-24 Waterford 0-19More beauty after the years of pain, Limerick have added the Allianz Hurling League to sit neatly alongside their All-Ireland title won last August, and it’s beginning to feel like there is no stopping them now. After waiting 45 years to win back the All-Ireland, they closed the 22-year gap on their last league title with a little more to spare - keeping Waterford at bay throughout a high quality contest to win by eight points in the end. With that Gillane brought his overall league tally to 2- 45; he did send nine balls wide, deserved man-of-the-match no less. Then out of the proverbial nowhere Limerick hit back where it hurts, Gillane deftly turning a long ball from Tom Morrissey straight into the Waterford.
