Delighted John Brudair hails Limerick character

Antrim 0-9 Limerick 2-6: They came, they saw, they conquered — that was Limerick footballers who tasted victory, at Corrigan Park in Belfast on Saturday, for the first time since April 2015, when they carved out a league win over Louth, in Drogheda.

Limerick fully deserved their win over Antrim and a place in the hat for the All-Ireland football qualifying Round 2B draw, this morning.

“We wanted to prove to ourselves that something was possible. We came up here expecting a tough, close battle. Antrim didn’t lose all year, here at Corrigan Park, and they won promotion but we are now in the second round,” enthused Limerick manager John Brudair.
