In their opener in Bruff against the Intermediate champions Westmeath, Limerick failed to keep up with the Leinster side’s early intensity and trailed from start to finish.

Prior to the clash against Waterford, manager Paul Sexton had to step down due to personal reasons, leaving the team in interim care.
