Leaders bank on Gamble

SD Galway 0 Limerick FC 1

With their nearest rivals doing battle in Waterford, a win against the league’s basement side was critical for Limerick but for long stages of the first half things didn’t go according to plan.

Five minutes in, the home side should have taken the lead, but Jacub Tomanica’s penalty was well saved by Barry Ryan after Brian Gaffney was pulled down.
