Kelly’s cracker gives Limerick narrow advantage

Limerick FC will take a one-goal advantage to Ballbofey on Friday night following a pulsating promotion/ relegation play off with Finn Harps at a sold-out Markets Field last night.

Shaun Kelly was on target for the Shannonsiders whose battle to avoid relegation is one of the stories of Irish football in 2015.

They’re calling it the “great escape” on Shannonside, and it’s not hard to see why. Martin Russell’s side took just six points from their first 21 games this term.
