It was another early exit from the Munster Championship for the Waterford footballers.
Limerick continued their winning record against the Deise with a 4-18 to 0-12 victory at the LIT Gaelic Grounds sending them through to the last four and a date with Cork in two weeks' time.
Experience and familiarity proved essential for this tie and Limerick stamped their authority throughout.
The Treaty put their first nail in the coffin six minutes into the game with a goal that set the tone for the game.
Shane Ronayne's side never lacked effort or application, but the Limerick skill levels proved too much to handle throughout.
Having temporarily lost Kilrossanty's Tommy Prendergast nearing the break, Waterford started to gain a foothold in the game, kicking their first back-to-back points, but the Treaty's left corner forward denied Waterford the chance to narrow the deficit when he struck past Paudie Hunt to the back of the net.
Captain Conor Murray provided some great attacking impetus for the Deise, setting up Darragh Corcoran on multiple occasions, but two second-half goals and nine more points were more than enough to keep Waterford at arm's length.
The Full-Time Score from the LIT Gaelic Grounds Limerick 4-18 v Waterford 0-12.
