Limerick's Cathal O'Neill with Gavin Fives of Waterford

Two stoppage time goals applied the gloss to Waterford's impressive Munster MHC victory over previously unbeaten Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds today.

David Byrne and Gavin Corbett raised late green flags to give the Deise a 2-17 to 1-13 success.

Gary Morahan's charges enjoyed the better of the first-half exchanges and took a 0-10 to 0-7 lead into the break.

A 43rd minute Cathal O'Neill goal brought Limerick back into contention and the sides were level (0-13 to 1-10) with 10 minutes to go.

A James Power point edged Waterford ahead with two minutes of stoppage time played before Byrne and Corbett put the end result beyond any doubt.

Meanwhile, in Semple Stadium, Tipperary inflicted a 2-14 to 1-12 defeat on Clare in today's other round 4 fixture.

James Devaney top scored for the Premier County with a return of 0-7 all from placed balls while Cian O'Farrell and Sean Hayes netted their goals.

Mark Rodgers raised a green flag for the Banner County who had led by 1-8 to 1-5 at the change of ends.
