Thomond Park prepares for a whole new ball game
The RTÉ cameras will be on hand to provide live coverage of the Airtricity League Premier Division game which marks the Shannonsiders’ return to the top flight after an absence of nearly 20 years.
It was Pat Scully who steered Limerick to automatic promotion by winning the First Division title last season but, after a period of considerable change at the club, new boss Stuart Taylor will be in charge for their first game back in the Premier Division. “Everyone is looking forward to Sunday,” says the Scot, “and you can’t start off with anything more exciting than a derby against Cork City. Cork have gone very well so far this season and it will be a great test. If we play the right way and everyone gives 100%, the results will follow, and we hope that is the case on Sunday. The supporters are so important to us and what we want to do here — we want to give them a team the whole Midwest can be proud of.”
