Limerick started with 3 seventeen yos on the pitch, David O'Leary, Garbhan Coughlan and debutant at center half James O'Brien. Second half 17 yo Fatima Dunisha and fifteen yo Stephen McGann arrived on late with McGann becomming the youngest Limerick player ever as well as the youngest scorer as he notched Limericks 5th on the night.

McGuinness, Kelly, Tracy, O'Callaghan, O'Brien, Sullivan(1), Tierney(McGann)(1), O'Leary(Ryan), Judge, Coughlan (1) (Dunisha), Clarke (2)

Unused subs White, Ryan

Harps were comfortable against Mervue even with dropping Matt Crossan, Davitt Walsh, Marc Brolly and Mickey Funston.
We started with 4 Under 20's players and introduced a further 3 in the second half.
Mervue's Rory Gaffney is a cracking player and should be playing for one of the top Prem sides, his awareness, movement and skill is top notch in an otherwise poor Mervue side.
Great atmosphere and result to close out a horrible season with 7 points out of 9.

Agree about that young Gaffney chap! Would easily get into a premier side. Heard Sligo were sniffing around! I would love him to come to the Blues but highly doubt it due to geographical difference! One for the future no doubts!

Waterford deserved their win last night. We were doing very well until we scored. Once the goal went in Waterford picked up and we faded. I think losing Casso to injury didn't help but we looked tired anyway. Great crowd up from Waterford for the match. I could see them beating Monaghan in the play off. Big thank you to Alan Matthews for turning our season around. Hopefully we can give promotion another go next year.

Also Rory Gaffney never seems to play well when I see him. Surprised to hear people say they think he could do well in the premier.
