Limerick remain in play-off hunt

LIMERICK FC kept their hopes of reaching the promotion play-offs on track with a nervy win over Athlone Town at Jackman Park last night.

Goals in either half from captain Pat Purcell, Jeffrey Judge and Corie Treacy five minutes from time secured victory.

Purcell headed home on the half-hour and Judge netted a 20-yard rasper — helped by a deflection — 11 minutes later.
