WATERFORD 1-22 LIMERICK 0-21
At or about the 38th minute at Walsh Park, Robbie Hanley met Jamie Barron head-on near the stand side of the field, a collision that was audible all around the stand.
It sketched this Allianz Hurling League game in miniature: two teams keen to leave with the win, and neither in the mood to back down. Waterford ended with the points and a welcome boost ahead of the mid-league break; Limerick faced the road back with a couple of red cards and a second successive defeat to mull over.
