It took less than 90 seconds for Limerick to convert a fast breakway and take the lead.

The second half saw further goals from Lordan (2) and Mulcahy for Cork , while Darren Harrington responded for Limerick 37.

Player of the Match: Jonathan Keane (Galway Utd)


The need for a Club to have a strong squad of 12 players was evident in this game as Waterford United , suffered a heavy defeat to the impressive Tribesmen. In fact the Blues took an early lead when Colin o Shea scored after less than a minute. However this was as good as it was to get for the Blues, as a rampant Galway Utd went on a goal blitz, scoring 6 goals in each half - to illustrate the unforgiving nature of Futsal.
