It may have taken five rounds but Limerick have secured their win of their Allianz FL Division 4 campaign.

After suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of Leitrim last time out, Billy Lee's charges produced a strong finish to get the better of fellow strugglers Waterford by 2-10 to 2-9 at the Staker Wallace GAA grounds this evening.

The hosts led by 1-6 to 1-4 at the midway point with their goal coming via Jamie Lee while Gavin Crotty converted a penalty for the visitors.

Tom McGlinchey's men took over in pole position, however, when Michael Curry raised their second green flag and, with 10 minutes to go, the scoreboard read 2-9 to 1-9 in their favour.

But, as events transpired, the Treaty County timed their run to perfection as a 67^th minute goal from Seamus O'Carroll got them back on level terms.

Moments later, replacement, Sean McSweene , sent over a free what proved to be the decisive score.
