70+3 mins — Limerick 0-25 Waterford 0-21: Waterford convert the 65 but it’s green flags they need at this stage.

FULL TIME: Limerick 0-25 Waterford 0-21

So that’s it — Limerick are Munster senior hurling champions once again!

It’s Limerick’s first time winning back-to-back provincial titles since 1980/81, and they’re now just two wins away from another All-Ireland title.

It’s disappointment for Waterford who hung tough throughout and really brought the fight to Limerick. They’ll be in the draw for the All-Ireland quarter-finals tomorrow morning, with a knockout clash against either Tipperary and Clare awaiting.

That’s all we’ve got time for, but stay with us over the rest of the evening for Fintan O’Toole’s report from Semple Stadium as well as lots more reaction and analysis from today’s games.
