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.

First Half
There was good work from the Waterford forwards in working the ball up the park, but Mikey Kearney’s shot on goal was the only real threat on goal for the first half.
That net bulging shot provided the impetus that Waterford needed and gave them a foothold in the game that they had been missing early on.
Westmeath struggled with balls not going to hand and needing more than one attempt to get the ball off the ground, but with that taken into account, they did look dangerous at times and created problems for the Waterford defence.
