WATCH: John Kiely reflects on win over Offaly, Darragh O'Donovan's injury and big league clash with Cork

LIMERICK senior hurlers made it three wins on the bounce in Division 1A of the Allianz Hurling League thanks to a 2-19 to 0-17 success over Offaly at Glenisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Sunday afternoon.

Aidan O’Connor notched 0-10 for the Shannonsiders in their latest league win, including eight first half points, in the eight point success.

It marked the third game in a row that the Ballybrown man got his personal tally into double figures.

Despite a display that was at times lacklustre, two goals in three minutes from Shane O’Brien and Cathal O’Neill made it a hat-trick of wins in a row for John Kiely’s side who had seen off Kilkenny and Tipperary in recent weeks. 

With two home games to round off the group stage, the Treaty are now in a strong place to reach the final which will be played in the first weekend of April.

First up is a mouth-watering clash with arch rivals Cork at the TUS Gaelic Grounds on Saturday evening next, 7pm, live on TG4.
