Limerick 37 0

Buckley Park

First half goals from Tim Kiely and Colin Bargary gave Kilkenny City their first home win since 3rd June 2006. The Cats ran out 2-0 winners against promotion hopefuls Limerick 37 at Buckley Park.

Home fans who had gone a twenty-three game run without a win got a boost after only twelve minutes when Kiely slotted home.

Bargary netted just before half-time to make it 2-0.

Despite their promotion aspirations, Limerick couldn't find a way back and may now find it difficult to get back into the promotion race with a clear gap opening up between them and the top three.

Kilkenny remain bottom but are now just one point behind second from bottom Wexford Youths.

Kilkenny City : McDonnell, Fogarty, Loughnane, Hughes, Tyrrell, O'Shea, Comerford (Coleman 90+), Grant, O'Connor, Bargary (Lyons 81), Kiely.
Limerick 37 : Ryan, Molan, Buckley, Finnucane, Purcell, Hayes (Tierney 77), Cosgrave, Barrett, McCarthy (Kelleher 53), Waters, Moran (Danagher 66).
