Cobh cruised passed Limerick at Hogan Park in a game that provided two big talking points. The first came after 20 minutes. Limerick's Ian O'Sullivan went through but was brought down by Cobh goalkeeper John Donnegan, who was lucky to escape with a yellow card. Dom Kelly scored from the spot to level proceedings after Ciaran Dalton had put Cobh in front after seven minutes.
A superb strike by Donal Golden had Cobh back in front after 35 minutes and five minutes later John Murphy of Cobh was shown the red card for taking down Derek McCarthy from behind. But the referee changed his decision after consulting a linesman and instead awarded a free to the visitors.
Cobh totally dominated the second half and Kenny O'Rourke made it three after 54 minutes and Pat Keane had the best goal of the day with a superb effort after 74 minutes.
