MUNSTER U-21 HC / Limerick 2-20 Kerry 1-10: Two goals in a two-minute spell from substitute Alan O'Connor and Andrew O'Shaugnessy saw Limerick progress in Tralee last night.

Kerry's Michael Conway opened the scoring with a point but Limerick were soon level thanks to a Patrick Kirby point and at the break the sides were on 0-6 each.

Kerry went ahead two minutes into the second half with a Brendan Harris free but Niall Moran cancelled this out. O'Connor scored Limerick's first goal in the 34th minute and a minute later, O'Shaughnessy landed the second. A Harris point reduced the gap to six with six minutes left and they grabbed a late goal through substitute Seán Maunsell.
