Limerick soccer to return home

LIMERICK soccer is set to return to its old home at the Markets Field following a substantial charitable donation.

Limerick Enterprise Development Partnership Ltd has reached agreement with Bord na gCon to purchase the venue for a sum in excess of €1.5 million after the partnership received a large contribution from the JP McManus Charitable Foundation.

Gerry Boland, director of Limerick Enterprise Development Partnership, said: “The generosity of the JP McManus Charitable Foundation made this dream come true and I am particularly pleased to see Limerick FC, now represented by Munster Football Club Limited, returning to its roots at the historic Markets Field.”
