Behan and Collins fire Limerick to victory

Limerick got back to winning ways at home following a hard-fought victory over 10-man Mervue United at Jackman Park last night.

Denis Behan headed home a Steve Bradley corner in the 58th minute and substitute Cian Collins sealed the win with a neat finish four minutes from time.

Shane Guthrie and Pat Purcell had both gone close for Lims with close-range headers either side of the half-hour mark, Guthrie’s effort drifting inches wide.
