All-Ireland hurling champions Limerick sent out an ominous message to the rest of the country yesterday, as they ransacked Kilkenny 2-18 to 0-15 to make it three wins from three in Division 1A. It was the first time Limerick had won in Nowlan Park since 1997, and victory was forged on a late first-half blitz. With the scores level at 0-7 to 0-7 after half an hour, Brian Cody’s Cats found themselves trailing 0-7 to 2-10 at the break. Seán Moran writes: “Limerick came out of Nowlan Park hallmarked as genuine. “We deserved to win,” said Wexford manager Davy Fitzgerald afterwards.
