Limerick dent Cork City title hopes

Cork City 2 Limerick 3: A rejuvenated Limerick put a major dent in Cork City’s title challenge and gave their survival hopes another major boost as they claimed all three points in a rip-roaring Munster derby at Turners Cross last night.

Limerick had to wait until August for their first win of the season but they have now won their last three games and they fully deserved this win as they refused to lie down after twice being pegged back after going in front as City’s title hopes are now left hanging by a thread.

City had only conceded 11 goals in 22 league games previous to last night but a calamitous defensive display now leaves them with a massive task if they are to overhaul Dundalk.
