The Morrissey brothers from Ahane were immense, making major impacts throughout. Dan was superb in the half-back line, while Tom slotted over four points from play at the other end.
It was the defender who caught the eye of The Sunday Game panelists however, with Dan pipping his brother and Kilkenny’s Eoin Murphy to be named man-of-the match

Man of the Match Dan Morrissey beating his brother Tom to Sunday Game award. Rise to prominence of Dan indicative of overall continuing development of all Limerick players under John Kiely's management #GAA#LLSport#hurling
Meanwhile on Saturday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Clare came out on top in the ‘Davy Derby’ and sealed a first return to Croke Park since 2013 with an impressive win over Fitzgerald’s Wexford.
A number of Clare players including Shane O’Donnell, Tony Kelly and John Conlon were on form but it was Cratloe’s Podge Collins who scooped the RTÉ man-of-the-match award as he finished with 0-2.
