Limerick to test flying Finn Harps

Finn Harps have emerged as the form team in the Airtricity League First Division with three wins on the bounce, but they will face a stiff test with the visit of second-placed Limerick to Finn Park tonight (7.45pm).

Harps will again plan without injured trio Ciaran Gallagher, Stephen O’Donnell and Keith Cowan, while Dominic Foley is out with a knee injury for Limerick.

Although still leaders by one point from Limerick, Longford Town were disappointed not to see their way unbeaten through the opening series of games after a surprise 3-1 home loss to Harps last time out. Mervue United are still searching for their first win of the campaign but travel to Flancare Park (7.30) on the back of two draws.
