LIMERICK 1-27 CORK 1-21A first Division 1 title for Limerick in three years and fourth under John Kiely was delivered in a free-strewn final in TUS Gaelic Grounds. Losing their league crown, Cork won’t be perturbed by their second defeat to their neighbours here in four weeks. Aaron Gillane helped himself to 1-7 as Limerick pushed away in the closing minutes of normal time having seen a six-point lead cut to two by the 66th minute. Hegarty then posted a point himself and Gillane weaved his way to a fifth point to seal the victory for Limerick. CORK: P. Collins; N. O’Leary, C. Joyce, S. O’Donoghue; E. Downey, R. Downey, M. Mullins; T. O’Mahony, T. O’Connell; S. Harnedy, S. Barrett, D. Fitzgibbon (c); A. Connolly, B. Hayes, W. Buckley.
