Gaffney brace fires Lims to victory
Rory Gaffney slotted under Town keeper Pat Jennings in the 17th minute after David O’Leary dummied Stephen Bradley’s through ball.
The visitors restored parity courtesy of ex-Lims favourite Garvin Broughall’s 73rd-minute chip over keeper Dave Ryan. However, Limerick edged back in front 11 minutes from time when Gaffney broke through from the halfway line and drilled a low shot under Jennings. Gaffney was denied a hat-trick by a brilliant last-ditch challenge from Brian McCarthy.
