Limerick display pleases Brudair

Limerick 2-11 Longford 0-11

Manager John Brudair, in just his second game in charge, was delighted by his side’s more clinical use of possession: “We knew we left two points behind us in Sligo. But rather than being disappointed by the fact we missed so many chances, we concentrated on doing the simple things right and it worked for us today.”

However, while Buckley sealed the result when his penalty put Limerick nine points ahead with 12 minutes to go, the hosts had to endure a few nervous moments earlier on when Longford’s storming start to the second-half saw them the halve the deficit within minutes.
