Limerick end Dundalk’s winning run

Paul O’Conor’s late, late equaliser ended Dundalk’s winning start to the season as Limerick held the champions to a 1-1 draw at Jackman Park on Saturday evening.

It was the first goal Stephen Kenny’s Premier Division leaders had conceded in the league this year and ended their hopes of equalling Derry City’s record of six clean sheets from the 1991/92 season.

Dundalk led from the 37th minute when midfielder Richie Towell beat Limerick keeper Conor O’Donnell with a terrific strike from the edge of the area.
