Defending champions Limerick ease into Munster MHC semi-final

Limerick 3-17 Tipperary 2-11

Report by Jackie Cahill for thescore.ie

BRIAN RYAN’S LIMERICK cruised into the semi-finals of the Electric Ireland Munster minor hurling championship this evening, with a nine-point victory over Tipperary at the Gaelic Grounds. The Shannonsiders, featuring ten survivors from last year’s All-Ireland semi-final in their starting line-up, scored three second half goals to set up a provincial semi-final showdown with Cork.

The reigning Munster champions showed their class after half-time as Colin Ryan set up all three of the Limerick goals, with Barry Nash helping himself to a brace. Cian Lynch netted three minutes into the second half to set Limerick on their way but Tipp were back to within a point with goals from Paul Ryan and Andrew Coffey.

Nash, scorer of the controversial point that never was against Galway in the 2013 All-Ireland semi-final, responded a minute later with Limerick’s second goal and he struck again in the final minute to seal a comfortable win. At half-time, Limerick led by double scores, 0-12 to 0-6, with the visitors managing just a point from play in the opening half.

A feature of Limerick’s play throughout was their aerial ability under their own puckouts and this led to a number of scores, with Nash and captain Cian Lynch particularly impressive in this regard. Inside, Colin Ryan was a constant threat, registering 0-5 in the opening half, including three frees. Three points also came from the Limerick half-back line, with Ronan Lynch banging over two long-range frees from inside his own half.

Wind-assisted Limerick finished the half with six wides, compared to Tipperary’s two, a further indication of the home side’s dominance. Tipp’s sole first half point from play was scored by Tommy Nolan in the 13th minute, after the Premier County turned over Limerick possession. Tipperary must now regroup for a semi-final playoff against Clare or Kerry.

Scorers for Limerick: Barry Nash 2-2, Cian Lynch 1-3, Colin Ryan 0-6 (3f), Ronan Lynch 0-4 (3f, 1 65), Lorcan Lyons & Conor Fitzgerald 0-1 each.

Scorers for Tipperary: Andrew Coffey 1-2 (0-1f), Paul Ryan 1-2, Shane Hennessy 0-5 (4f, 1 65), Tommy Nolan 0-2.

Munster Minor Hurling Championship – Odds and Ends

Waterford have won at least 1 match in the Munster Minor Hurling Championship over the last 6 years. Cork and Limerick have the next best consecutive streak with at least 1 victory in each of the last 4 years. Tipperary have won a game in each of the last 3 years. While Clare did not secure a victory last year, they won a game in each of the previous 7 years. Tipperary have the best consecutive streak since 2000 winning a game in each of the ten years from 2000 to 2009 inclusive. 

Limerick are the defending Munster Minor Hurling Champions following a 1-20 to 4-8 victory over Waterford at Semple Stadium in the 2013 final replay. `

Waterford secured their first All Ireland minor hurling title since 1948 when they defeated Galway in the final on September 8th 2013 by 1-21 to 0-16.

Kerry make a welcome return to the Munster championship this year. In 2012, when they last competed, they lost both their games – the first against Tipperary and the second against Cork. 2013 was a good year for them as they won the All Ireland Minor Hurling B championship defeating Meath by 1-19 to 3-9 in the final.

Cork Coach Mark Landers captained Cork to win the All-Ireland senior hurling title in 1999. Manager Denis Ring guided St. Colman’s College Fermoy to a number of Harty Cup titles. This is a first season in charge for Denis and his team, who were appointed at the end of last season.

Tipperary captain, Brian Hogan, is the son of former TIpperary Senior Hurling goalkeeper and manager Ken. Brian lined out in goal for the Tipperary Minor Hurlers in their two matches last year emulating his father Ken who was the Tipperary Minor Hurling goalkeeper in 1980 and 1981, winning Munster and All-Ireland Minor Hurling medals in 1980.

Clare appeared in 3 Munster minor hurling finals in a row from 2010 to 2012, winning in 2010 and 2011 against Waterford and losing to Tipperary in 2012. Several of their All Ireland senior winning squad of 2013 featured on those minor teams.
