Michael Bolton

Limerick proved to have too much for Waterford in a 0-28 to 0-22 win in Walsh Park.

It was Limerick's first win in the Munster Championship to put them second in the table.

Limerick stayed ahead once they opened the scoring after one minute, with Aaron Gillane scoring nine points, as five of Limerick's forwards were on the scoresheet.

Waterford did all they could, with Stephen Bennett scoring nine points to keep them in touch.

They took a 0-15 to 0-10 lead into the interval, as they kept the scoreboard ticking to run out as winners.

Limerick move into second place ahead of Waterford, who drop to third.

Limerick take on Cork next weekend, whom they lost twice to last season, while Waterford travel to Tipperary.

In Camogie, Wexford and Kilkenny will contest this year's Leinster Senior Camogie Championship final.

The Cats booked their spot in the decider with a 4-11 to 2-12 win over Dublin this evening.

They will play Wexford, who had four points to spare in their semi-final with Offaly earlier.
