Top spot beckons as Scully’s Limerick look to overcome Blues

European competition and live television requirements mean that, with the top-flight restricted to just two fixtures this evening, the Airtricity League game of the day is in the First Division, where third hosts second as Waterford United face Limerick at the RSC (7.45pm).

The visitors are coming off the back of a 3-0 win over Finn Harps, which has left them just a point behind leaders Longford Town.

“It was another good win last Friday night but travelling to Waterford we need to be on top of our game against a team that has got two results off us already this season,” said manager Pat Scully. “We need to turn that form around and put in a performance that will get us the right result.”
