Limerick FC 1 Shamrock Rovers 1

First-half goals from Sean O’Connor and man-of-the-match, Craig Curran saw the sides finish even and Limerick earn their first point from their last three matches at the home of Munster rugby.

O’Connor opened the scoring for the visitors with a low 25-yard drive after nicking the ball off Limerick captain Joe Gamble in the 10th minute. Following O’Connor’s opener, Rovers began to stretch Stuart Taylor side with their passing and movement, culminating in Stephen Rice going close with a header from a Ronan Finn cross.
