Limerick on the brink

Limerick 0 Shamrock Rovers 2: Limerick FC may avoid the drop if they beat Sligo Rovers away in their final game of the season next Friday.

But anything less than three points could see the Shannonsiders finish bottom of the table – a position they have occupied all season.

Martin Russell’s side desperately needed a win at the Markets Field, but Rovers recorded a surprisingly comfortable victory considering what was at stake.
