Graeme Mulcahy with a badly-needed score for Limerick

Blow for Limerick as captain Donal O’Grady forced off injured. He looks in obvious distress.

Cian Lynch comes on to replace him. O’Grady’s leadership skills will be sorely missed by Limerick and it looks like a bad injury for the Limerick skipper.

Penalty for Dublin!

Referee Diarmuid Kirwan awards Dublin a penalty as Richie McCarthy adjudged to have fouled Dotsy O’Callaghan. Looked relatively soft.

Dublin 0-13 Limerick 0-7
Dublin now have their biggest lead of the day as Johnny McCaffrey points from distance

Seamus Hickey clearly unhappy as he comes off the pitch to be replaced by Seanie O’Brien. Unclear whether Hickey is injured or if it’s a tactical change.

Dublin 0-13 Limerick 0-8
Hickey injured it seems. Let’s hope that’s not too serious either as Graeme Mulcahy grabs a point for Limerick

Dublin 0-14 Limerick 0-8
Johnny McCaffrey shoots his second point of the afternoon for Dublin. We’re into the second minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half.

Half-time: Dublin 0-14 Limerick 0-8
And that’s half-time at Croke Park as Limerick find themselves six points adrift. Dublin have been impressive thus far and injuries to captain Donal O’Grady and Seamus Hickey haven’t helped the visitors either. We’re off for a half-time cuppa!

Inspirational long-range point from Paudie O’Brien for Limerick

Dublin sub as Paul Ryan comes on for Dotsy O’Callaghan, who’s had a good game.

Dublin 1-18 Limerick 0-14
Another score from a placed ball for Shane Dowling as Limerick somehow survive conceding a goal at the other end. Colm Cronin denied by Nickie Quaid before his follow-up hits the post. Limerick scramble the sliotar to safety.

Another yellow card and this time it’s Dublin vice-captain Peter Kelly. Dowling adds another Limerick free and they’re back to within six points before Niall McMorrow fires over a Dublin point.

Dublin 1-19 Limerick 0-15
Who else but Mark Schutte from distance as Dublin move eight points clear. He’s been brilliant today.

Dublin 1-20 Limerick 0-15
With eight minutes left this one looks done and dusted unless there’s a massive Limerick response

Dublin 1-22 Limerick 0-15
Yellow card for Paudie O’Brien for hauling down Schutte. Treacy on target with the Dublin free. Ryan O’Dwyer feeds Schutte for another simple Dublin score. This is too easy.

And that’s a wrap on our coverage of this evening’s first Allianz Hurling League quarter-final folks. A comfortable 12-point victory for Dublin, a margin very few would have predicted. Injury worries too for Limerick after captain Donal O’Grady and Allstar Seamus Hickey went off in the first half. Problems for manager TJ Ryan to contend with but Dublin, League champions in 2011, go marching into the last four on the back of a very impressive display. Tune in shortly for live coverage of Dublin v Derry in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League.
