Longford hold Lims

Limerick FC maintained their three-point lead at the top of the First Division following this stalemate with second-placed Longford Town at Jackman Park last night.

Dan Purdy went close for the visitors just past the hour after he beat Lims keeper to the ball inside the box but his cross was cut out by Limerick captain Pat Purcell.

At the other end, man-of-the match Rory Gaffney drove an excellent ball from Joe Gamble inches wide, with Town keeper Craig Hyland well beaten.
