SSE Airtricity Premier Division

John Caulfield has described Stephen Kenny’s complaints about the lack of penalties awarded to his Dundalk side as “an astonishing attack” on match officials in the SSE Airtricity League.

St Patrick’s Athletic 0 Limerick 2: Limerick showed no adverse affects from their managerial upheaval during the week as interim boss Willie Boland’s side came away from Richmond Park with three big points.

Priority number one for Limerick as the league leaders came to town on the back of six straight wins from their first half-dozen games must have been the need to make John Caulfield’s side work for every single opening.

A wonder goal from Patrick McEleney proved enough for holders Dundalk to see off First Division champions Limerick FC at Oriel Park last night as they made it three wins from three so far.

After last week’s slog in the bog in Ballybofey yielded a 0-1 win over Finn Harps, Cork City are hardly expecting a walk in the park against Galway United this evening but they will certainly be hoping for less onerous conditions when they host their first home game of the new SSE Airtricity Season at Turner’s Cross.

It's the opening night of the new League of Ireland season.
