All-Ireland MHC Quarter-finals: Limerick 4-12, Antrim 2-17 A last-gasp point from corner forward Michael Ryan decided Saturday's All-Ireland minor hurling quarter-final in Limerick's favour at Parnell Park.

Up by a point at half-time, Limerick found the back of the net three times in the second half. But their victory only came after Antrim had raced into a 2-15 to 2-11 lead with five minutes remaining.

Shane McNaughton, son of former Antrim hurler and joint coach Terence, had fired in the Ulster side's opening goal after 13 minutes. But an injury-time goal from Michael Ryan and an injury-time free from John Kelly tipped the balance in Limerick's favour.

An opportunist score from Paddy Doherty shortly after the restart,two scores from placed balls by Paddy McGill and another point from wing back Randal McDonnell opened up a four-point lead for Antrim.

Goals from Ger Collins and Eoin Ryan put Limerick up a point with a minute to go.

McGill levelled proceedings only for Michael Ryan's late intervention.
