Limerick comeback stuns the Lilywhites

Limerick produced a rousing second-half showing to overturn a two-goal deficit and claim a 3-2 win against Dundalk on Saturday evening.

Fourth in the table Dundalk, who defeated leaders St Patrick’s Athletic last time out, opened positively and were deservedly ahead on eight minutes courtesy of Kurtis Byrne.

A Dane Massey free-kick doubled Dundalk’s advantage approaching half-time, leaving the home side with a proverbial mountain to climb at the break. But climb they did.
