Limerick prevail

Limerick scored a dramatic first win of the league season when they beat Antrim at Dromcollogher yesterday.

Despite a good start, Antrim were reeled in by Limerick, who took a one-point lead into the break. Then, in a low-scoring second half - both sides notching just four points - Limerick's winner came three minutes into injury time when Michael Reidy, their top scorer, landed a difficult free.
