Limerick FC assistant manager Malky Thomson believes his side have the character to bounce back from Saturday’s defeat by St Patrick’s Athletic against Shamrock Rovers tomorrow.

Limerick FC maintained their three-point lead at the top of the First Division following this stalemate with second-placed Longford Town at Jackman Park last night.

Longford Town got their promotion bid back on track with a first win in four as they brushed aside SD Galway in front of just 119 fans at Eamon Deacy Park last night.
