Eager Limerick even honours with Rovers

Limerick FC 2 Shamrock Rovers 0

Two top drawer strikes from Jason Hughes and Rory Gaffney in either half at Thomond Park last night saw Stuart Taylor’s side cancel out a 1-0 defeat away to the Hoops in June.

Rovers were left to rue missed opportunities, but overall, Limerick, who look determined to end their first season back in Ireland’s top flight in almost 20 years on a high note, deserved their win.
